Move the lever up (to RES+), and hold it. Your vehicle set speed will
increase by 10 km/h (5 mph).
Release the lever at the speed you
want.
Move the lever up (to RES+), and release it immediately. The cruising
speed will increase by 1.0 km/h
(1.0 mph) each time you move the
lever up (to RES+) in this manner.
You can set the speed up to 177 km/h (110 mph).
