Once in the clear, you lower your foot again and accelerate right up to the speed you set, but not past it. When you're at that speed, you can pretty much press the accelerator around 20% further without it exceeding the speed, so you just keep your foot roughly in the right region to maintain cruise. I love it!
I'm not sure I understand correctly but that sounds scary?! If you are on a road with one lane in each direction with the LIM at 100km/h and you approach a car doing 90-95km/h, overtaking that car will take ages then? or is the limit disabled when you really floor the accelerator? (in case you would want to hurry up the overtaking process a bit)
