3.0 CC special feature - go slower buttonmakes car go faster

When my 3.0 road speed exceeds CC set speed and the decrease button is held for more than a brief period, the set speed INCREASES rather than decreases. The button works correctly if the road speed is less than the CC set speed. I think LR would not have intended that to be a feature!

This will get reported to my dealer for sure!

This is looking for the 'it's upside down in your country' joke isn't it?

Thanks for the confirmation that its not just my vehicle. I will report any response which could be quite a while coming if LR don't already know about the 'feature'.

I'm pleased to find that this special feature seems to have been been withdrawn since the Q093 update was done. I'm also pleased to see the instantaneous fuel consumption when overspeed can get down to zero indicating no fuel being supplied so the vehicle should be more inclined to hold its set speed, and it certainly feels as though there now is significant engine braking. I have yet to test if the CC dramatic acceleration special feature due to dropping a gear when revs get too low (it may have been in command shift mode) has also been withdrawn.
