Set CC for xxmph and travel on your way.

Your road starts a decent and you speed picks up and starts going over your set speed.
5mph or more over your set speed and the car will put the brakes on for you.

I was traveling through Bristol and went down a steep road near the Clifton Suspension bridge.
I set the CC for 25mph and let it do its own thing as a test.

It sat between 25 and 30 all the way down the hill without me having to touch anything.

That makes sense,but on the motorway if you are set to 70mph, it wont brake it if you decide to boot it to 100mph because of some tw@t on front of you.

No it wont but I do wonder if you've finished booting up to a ton would it then put the brakes on to slow you down?

No, it wouldn't apply the brake, it will just slow down (when you take your foot off) to 70mph and carry on at that speed

I feel in mine like it applies the brakes. If i go from 60 say to 80 then let off CC set at the 60 it will slow down quicker than coasting / just letting off the throttle - feels like its braking. Very noticeable if you hold the stick down and it drops 5 mph each second....

Go from 60 to 80 with no CC On, let the throttle go at 80 on the gear of course and see how long it takes to slow down to 60. Maybe it does it so gently that I just haven't noticed any breaking
Interesting if my doesnt brake and all other do...

Is it braking by engine or actually uses brakes? If it does use brakes I would expect brake lights to come up as well to warn the cars behind.
