1 Maintaining and storing speed,
accelerating
Press the lever as far as the detent:
The system maintains and stores the cur-
rent vehicle speed. Every time you tap the
lever the vehicle's speed increases by
roughly 1 mph (1 km/h).
Press the lever longer:
The vehicle accelerates without pressure
on the accelerator pedal. The system main-
tains and stores your current speed as
soon as you release the lever.
The vehicle may accelerate beyond
the preset speed on steep downhill
stretches where the engine's braking effect
alone may not be sufficient to slow the
vehicle. Speed can drop on uphill grades if
the engine output is insufficient.
