Scrapped the cruise idea

[JethroUK]

Your method makes use of 3 devices (button, accelerator & brake)

The Merc system using one device - the CC stalk.

Merc CC also allows you to keep both hands on wheel and feet off pedals for added safety and comfort.

You do realise, that just like if you made your statement on email, your posting here is a legally binding contract under English law.

I'll have an SLS or SLR - not fussed, either will do.

It also "makes use of" engine, fuel, chassis, etc etc

Mb stalk button helps you "Keep both hands on the wheel" but my "stalk" button does not ha ha ha - you had to imagine my button being somewhere you have invented in your own mind to suit your own argument ha ha ha ha

You are really struggling

You tried soooooo very hard but you will need to get up so much earlier than that

My one button solution is without peers easiest and fastest cruise solution and my offer still stands

Now you've added "stalk" button, you've just described the Mercedes system.

The Mercedes system just offers more functionality on top, for those who can use it.

J'UK...are you for real? I've read number of your posts over the past 2 days...wierd!!

There's a few tricky bits in owning a Mercedes, but the cruise control is not one of them.

CL65 AMG in black with white interior for me thanks, I'll pay to tax it for 12 months though, so that's one less job for you.

I've owned a number of cars with cc, and driven dozens of rental cars with it, and I'm happy to say that, IMHO, the MB cc is the easiest, most convenient system I've ever used. It even tells you what speed it's set at!

It's clear from your previous statements you've been using the limitter rather than the cc. Anyone with half a brain would, at this point, stop digging themselves into an even deeper hole, and retire gracefully to read the manual!

Deliberately obfuscating and please, invest in some of these (below) and these..ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ to go with them. They compliment each other perfectly and make reading posts much easier.

 

[Ted]

Please ignore the others as they are just winding you up.



G63 for me. With cc of course.

 

[geraldrobins]

I use CC daily and find the MB one stalk easy to use. I did however prefer CC in my previous Passat but only marginally.

 

[Benzowner]

The only problem with MB CC which did unnerve me a bit was on the motorway cruising at a steady ?? mph and had to slow for roadworks down to about 40mph. After the roadworks, I just pulled the stalk back to resume, jeeze I didn't know a car could accelerate that fast.

It is "enthusiastic"

Sure you weren't cruising at ??? mph

 

[flowrider]

Cruise in my ML is not very accurate, when the speedo says 50mph and I put cruise on the display says 52mph!

C63 is much the same but the other way round, the speedo says 60mph and the cruise display says 58mph, must be a Mercedes thing?

How kind.

 

[C350 Carl]

How complicated does a cruise need to be?
Single button on which disengages when using and pedal (accelerating or braking)
=
Accelerate to desired speed engage cruise (press a button)
Want to go bit faster/slower then accelorate/brake and press it again

It does not get simpler or faster or more intuative than this

I do not know how this cruise works but I know this

If it is simpler OR faster OR more intuative than the algorithm I just described I will buy everyone on this forum a brand new merc of their choice

But the Mercedes one IS simpler and IS faster and IS more intuitive.

Press accelerator to reach desired speed. Press cruise stalk up or down (same speed as pressing a button)

Cancel - Touch brake pedal OR push cruise stalk away.

Now this is where Mercedes one gets more intuitive and faster.

To raise speed -

Option 1 - Accelerate and press cruise stalk up or down. How fast depends on how your car accelerates

Option 2 - Raise in 1Mph increments by pushing lever half up.

Option 3 - Raise in 5mph Increments by Pushing all the way up. Can do this in rapid succession which means you could set a 30mph increase faster than your car can accelerate to that speed, unless you own an AMG perhaps even then i think the stalk method would win.

No requirement for any input with throttle by the driver as the car does it for you

To lower speed

Option 1 - Brake and reset the cruise

Option 2 - Lower in 1Mph increments by pushing lever half down.

Option 3 - Lower in 5mph Increments by Pushing all the way down. Not necessarily faster than braking but again a 30mph decrease could be rapidly programmed and the car will brake for you. Again reducing driver input so is definitely more intuitive.

I'll have a fully loaded E63 AMG with every option ticked please. Matt Palladium Silver with Black Fine Nappa leather.

Thanks. PM me for delivery address etc
