VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL SYSTEM AND METHOD
First Claim
1. A vehicle control system comprising a speed control system and a traction control system,the traction control system being operable to cause a reduction in speed of one or more wheels when a speed of the one or more wheels exceeds a traction control system intervention threshold value,the speed control system being operable in an active state in which the speed control system causes the vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value,wherein when the speed control system is in the active state, the traction control system intervention threshold value is set to a value selected in dependence at least in part on the target speed value.
