Temporarily exceeding the programmed speed

If needed (when overtaking, for example) it is possible to exceed the programmed speed by pressing the accelerator pedal.

Cruise control is temporarily deactivated and the programmed speed displayed flashes.

To return to the programmed speed, release the accelerator pedal.
