point of resistance, the desired speed in‐
creases or decreases by approx.
1 mph/1 km/h.
▷ Each time the rocker switch is pressed past
the point of resistance, the desired speed in‐
creases or decreases by a maximum of
5 mph/10 km/h.
The maximum speed that can be set de‐
pends on the vehicle.

switch beyond the resistance point causes
the vehicle to accelerate more rapidly.
