When the cruise control system is operating it is possible to briefly drive at a higher speed without storing this new speed.

– Press the accelerator, for example to overtake another vehicle.

Once you release the accelerator the system will automatically revert to the speed you stored initially. However, the system will only function in this manner for as long as the symbol ⇒ fig. 137 lights up green.

If your speed is more than 10 km/h higher than the stored speed over a period of more than 5 minutes the cruise control system will temporarily be deactivated. The green symbol will go out and the white symbol will light up. The stored speed will, however, be retained ⇒ fig. 139.
