If you want to speed up temporarily when the cruise control is on, depress the accelerator pedal.
Increased speed will not interfere with cruise control operation or change the set speed.
To return to the set speed, take your foot off the accelerator.
If you move the lever down (to SET-) at increased speed, the cruising speed will be set again.
✽ NOTICE
Be careful when accelerating temporarily, because the speed is not controlled automatically at this time even if there is a vehicle in front of you.
