“While vehicle is in motion at various speeds with cruise control engaged climbing up on hilly or steeper grades the vehicle accelerates on the dash at nearly 100 percent power according to the hybrid tachometer. This increase in power surpasses well over the set cruise speed. From what I have noticed its 6-10 MPH climbing past my set speed. There is also a long delay in power restoration after coasting down hills. …”
