A method for controlling a vehicle having an accelerator pedal and a brake pedal includes monitoring a position of the accelerator pedal. The position of the accelerator pedal varies from a lower limit corresponding to a released state to an upper limit corresponding to a fully depressed state. The method includes monitoring whether the brake pedal is depressed or released and, when depressed, deactivating a setpoint. The method includes, while the brake pedal remains released and in response to determining that the accelerator pedal is depressed: determining a maximum value of the position of the accelerator pedal and, in response to determining that the accelerator pedal has returned to the released state, selectively activating the setpoint and storing a current speed of the vehicle as a setpoint speed. The method includes, while the setpoint is activated, controlling the vehicle to remain at the setpoint speed.
