1 Answers
On the evening of March 14th, on the Lianhuo Expressway from Henan to Shaanxi, a Mercedes-Benz C200L experienced cruise control failure, passing through a toll station at a speed of 120km/h. The vehicle was eventually controlled by opening the car door to reduce speed. Relevant details are as follows: Failure: The owner is an amateur racer who tried various methods, including contacting Mercedes-Benz after-sales service, shifting gears, braking, using the electronic parking brake, and manually downshifting, all of which failed. The owner opened the car door, and the speed indeed decreased from 120km/h to about 60km/h. However, once the door was closed, the speed quickly returned to 120km/h. Speed reduction: The actual situation was that the owner unbuckled the seatbelt and opened the car door, which reduced the speed, deactivated the cruise control function, and then resolved the issue.
