I used this for the first time this week , it saved me a whole load of grief. Thank you.

When parking on my drive I have to creep up slowly very close to the house wall to less than a foot away, this usually brings on either stop start auto hold before I get close enough, pushing gear selector to the left in manual mode stops engine cutting out before I am close enough.

And most other manufacturers (and users?) appear to think differently.

Short press for a small increase, longer press for a bigger increase.

I am sure it is designed to work better with pilot assist and cruise control with ever fluctuation road speeds from 70 to 50 etc, it works for me. And I like the quick press round up or down to nearest 5mph.
