How to Cancel the Cruise Control Icon on C260L?

[ElliotDella]

Through the brake switch, when the driver presses the brake pedal, this switch will activate, transmitting the vehicle braking signal to the cruise control ECU, thereby automatically canceling the cruise control. If it cannot be canceled, the owner can call the vehicle operation consulting service. Although Mercedes-Benz backend staff cannot control the vehicle to turn off cruise control, they can provide operational guidance. Below are related introductions: 1. Location of Cruise Control: On newer Mercedes models, both cruise control and speed limit functions have been moved to the steering wheel. When cruise control is activated, a cruise icon will appear on the instrument panel. 2. Operation of Cruise Control: First, among the multifunction buttons on the left side of the steering wheel, there is a semicircular icon representing cruise control, and LIM is the speed limit icon. Pressing it will display the cruise control icon on the instrument panel, indicating it is activated. The corresponding sliding button below is used to adjust speed: upward for acceleration (set+) and downward for deceleration (set+). The minimum speed setting is 20 km/h. 3. Precautions for Using Cruise Control on Mercedes C260L: Cruise control still requires the driver to apply the brakes manually; only adaptive cruise control can achieve automation. Pressing the brake will deactivate cruise control. The previously set speed value remains stored in the system and can be directly restored. During heavy snow or on treacherous roads, be sure to turn off cruise control to avoid danger.

I've encountered this issue myself when driving a Mercedes. The cruise control icon gets stuck on the dashboard and won't disappear, which is quite annoying. It could be due to a stuck control lever or a minor system software glitch. Try pulling the cruise control lever next to the steering wheel and push it back to the cancel position once to see if it responds. If there's no response, simply park the car, turn off the engine, wait a few minutes, and then restart the vehicle. Reinitializing the system might clear the icon. Don't underestimate this issue—if it stays lit, the system might think cruise control is active, which could lead to unintended acceleration and potential accidents. Regular maintenance checks on the circuits and sensors can help prevent this. If the problem persists, don't tinker with it randomly; it's best to visit a professional repair shop where they can scan it with a diagnostic tool. Remember, safety first—don't get distracted by this while driving.

As an experienced driver with several years behind the wheel, I suggest you stay calm first. The cruise control icon not disappearing can sometimes be due to operational issues or sensor faults. The simplest solution is to double-click the control button on the steering wheel to try canceling it. If that doesn't work, park the car, turn off the engine, let it rest for a while, and then restart it. This issue is common in Mercedes models, where the system occasionally glitches and just needs a reset. Here's a personal tip: regularly wipe the control area with a damp cloth to prevent dust from affecting button responsiveness. The icon not disappearing doesn't affect driving, but it might mislead the system into automatic speed control, increasing accident risks. So, address it promptly and don't ignore it. Take some time to visit a 4S shop to check the circuits and switches—it's not costly but gives peace of mind.

Hey, let me talk about this issue from a car enthusiast's perspective. If the cruise control icon doesn't disappear, it's usually due to system freeze or minor issues with the control lever. First, try pulling the lever near the steering wheel to reset and see if it disappears. Mercedes systems are quite smart but prone to minor bugs - parking and restarting the car can initialize the system to solve the problem. Expanding on this: modern cars have many electronic components, and temporary faults caused by dust or moisture aren't uncommon. DIY circuit checks aren't very useful - it's best to have a professional diagnose it. While driving with the icon still displayed isn't immediately dangerous, it's important to prevent potential interference with speed control. Timely repairs ensure safety and save effort.
