If the lever is held at resume/accelerate the vehicle keeps going faster until the lever is released or the brake is applied. Do not hold the lever at resume/accelerate, unless you want the vehicle to go faster. { CAUTION: If you leave your cruise control on when you are not using cruise, you might hit a button and go into cruise when you do not want to.
