“The 2015 Mercedes-Benz sprinter cruise control shows no icon when activated. The cruise control, lever is located close to the turn single switch and has a similar design. Making it easy to activate by mistake. The design I believe is not a the problem. Benz has used this layout for years on all vehicles. The fact that the driver is not informed is a safety problem. I questioned mercedes about this and was told, the 2016 models have a icon that does show the system is on. Including showing set speed. But it does not stay on. …”
