While depressing the accelerator pedal for a certain amount, the set speed will blink on the cluster. However, if the accelerator pedal is insufficiently depressed, the vehicle may slow down.

Be careful when accelerating temporarily, because the speed is not controlled automatically even if there is a vehicle in front of you.
