what this speed is and the current situation is
appropriate to do so. Otherwise, sudden ac-
celeration or braking could endanger you or
others.
G Warning
The rate at which you increase the speed in
1 mph increments (1 km/h increments) may
be faster than your vehicle is able to acceler-
ate. Your vehicle may then continue to accel-
erate up to the newly set speed even after
you have released the cruise control lever.
Only increase the speed if the current situa-
tion is appropriate to do so. Sudden acceler-
ation could otherwise endanger you and
others.
