If you increase the vehicle set speed, keep in
mind that it may take a brief moment until
the vehicle has reached the set speed.

that the prevailing road conditions and legal
speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden and
unexpected acceleration of the vehicle
could cause an accident and/or serious in-
jury to you and others.
