A method includes receiving a set speed, a maximum allowed speed, and a minimum allowed speed, wherein the maximum allowed speed and the minimum allowed speed define an allowed speed range; commanding a propulsion system to produce a commanded axle torque to maintain the set speed; monitoring a current vehicle speed of the vehicle; determining whether the current vehicle speed is between a first speed value and a second speed value, wherein the first speed value is the minimum allowed speed plus a first predetermined value, and the second speed value is the maximum allowed speed minus a second predetermined value; and in response to determining that the current vehicle speed is not between the first speed value and the second speed value, commanding the propulsion system to adjust the commanded axle torque in order to maintain the current vehicle speed within the allowed speed range.
