If you set it at 63kph it will round to the next 5kph if you speed up/slow down.
Unfortunately, I don't think it can be re-programmed but I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I'm pretty sure that there is a setting to reduce the sensitivity of the system. Initially I had the same issues going past a car that was turning.
