A welcome alternative to free-fall driving<br />
Feeling on top of the world is the natural reaction once<br />
your vehicle has made it up a steep incline. But then<br />
comes the question of how to get down again. Will you<br />
be able to keep it under control as you descend steep,<br />
off-road tracks? If the surface is unfavourable? If the<br />
gradient is as much as 100%? Might you not be in for<br />
a free-fall descent under these conditions?<br />
There’s no need to worry: in the M-<strong>Class</strong> you can enjoy<br />
the ride all the way down again, too. Thanks to the patented<br />
Downhill Speed Regulation system, you can set a<br />
constant, pleasantly slow ground speed even when<br />
negotiating steep downhill stretches and difficult terrain.<br />
The cruise control lever allows the speed to be adjusted<br />
at any time. So you can always count on a safer, gentle<br />
and relaxing descent – almost as if you were floating back<br />
down under a parachute.
