This enables you to brake safely without the cruise control trying to enforce the speed it was set at. So, if your brake pedal switch is starting to go, your car might think that the brakes are being applied and the cruise control turns off.<\/p>\n<p>A blown fuse is the simplest to explain. If the fuse of your cruise control is bad, the cruise control won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n<p>If the speed sensor or speedometer isn\u2019t working, the cruise control won\u2019t work either, since this feature is partially responsible for making the cruise control function properly.<\/p>\n<p>These are all possible reasons why your cruise control is malfunctioning, but the best way to know for certain is to take it to a mechanic.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/blog\/what-does-the-mercedes-benz-me-button-e-call-do\/\">The Mercedes-Benz me Button and E Call adds a safety net to your drive<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3>Where can I get my car fixed near Peoria?<\/h3>\n<p>If your cruise control isn\u2019t working or if your vehicle is having other issues, you may want to stop by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arrowheadmb.com\/car-service-peoria-az\">Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead<\/a>.
