Increasing or reducing speed

The speed can be changed in the range from approx. 4 mph/6 km/h to approx. 15 mph/25 km/ h by pressing the accelerator or brake pedal lightly.

A target speed within the same range can be specified using the lever of the cruise control.

On inclines over 10 %, you can reduce the speed to approx. 3 mph/4 km/h. Pull the lever of the cruise control beyond the resistance point, arrow 3.
