The speed control switch provides for driver increase (SET +) or decrease (-) of set vehicle speed, suspension of system operation with set speed memorized (CANCEL) and resumption of operation at memorized vehicle speed (RESUME). The vehicle speed control system will not operate below 26km/h (16mph).

The set vehicle speed can be increased or decreased in 2km/h (1mph) increments by briefly pressing the (SET +) or (-) control button. Alternatively, the (SET +) or (-) button can be pressed and held until the required vehicle speed is reached.
