Method of communicating to a user information in respect of a change in activation state of a vehicle speed control system from an inactive state to an active state, the method being implemented by means of a controller, the active state being a state in which the speed control system is operable to control vehicle speed in accordance with a target speed at least in part by causing application of positive powertrain drive torque, the inactive state being a state in which the speed control system does not cause application of positive powertrain drive torque, comprising: causing a transient increase in a speed of a motor of the powertrain prior to the speed control system controlling vehicle speed in accordance with a target speed in the active state. A net increase in the driving force may be prevented, preferably due to use of the brakes and/or clutch. |
