– If the set vehicle speed is exceeded by more
than approx. 16 mph (25 km/h) for longer than
20 seconds.
– If the actual vehicle speed falls by approx.
6 mph (10 km/h) below the set vehicle speed

cannot always be maintained by cruise control.
fTo obtain sufficient engine braking or a better
engine-speed range, therefore, you have to
change down to a lower gear.
