S211 Cruise Control

[AntMB]

I've never seen these yellow segments ever before, a web search doesn't bring anything up. Does anyone here know what this means?

Cruise control appears to be working normally, but just the segments appear different with the addition of the yellow segments.

Isn’t that because you’re in manual mode?

Manual gears? No, it was doing that from the off in Drive mode.

Cluster shows '3', which means it is on tip tronic (or 'M'). But I never seen gauge behaviing like that...

My w212 shows the same yellow gauge. I don't know the purpose, but it tracks the speed needle. You can of course look at the speed needle right next to it, so totally redundant in my view (unless someone is going to be able to explain any useful function for it?).

I haven't used the speed limiter function, but maybe it display the speed limiter? So if you are driving under the set limit, rather than with cruise control, it shows you exactly where the limit is.

I've used the limiter before and it never used to show like this. The reason I set the cruise today is that the white segment decided to display across the whole speedo, with nothing set, so I wondered what would happen if I did set it.

Yes, I am aware of what it means. I had set it purposely.
