Facelifted C class is a very nice car but they have to fix some slight ergonomic faults. The father of one of my friends has one and he made me read the manual the other time to tell him how the cruise control lever works. Believe me i had a tough time with it.

LOL how ??
its so easy.. its like in all MB´s...
push it up and its on.. push it away and its off.. push it towards you and its on again at the previous speed..
push it down it decreases speed..and up it gains speed..

and if you push in the leaver..you go from a cruise control...to a speed limiter..

It may sound easy for you who had a Mercedes before but those who are new to the whole idea might find it difficult. Audi for example has a much easier system with only three options "select speed, engage, disengage".

When I was younger, I thought MB cruise control was very difficult to use, but I'm so used to it now.
