Cruise characteristics

I now have an '84 300D with cruise control.
I have tried to use it and it seems to work OK, but when I set it, and remove my foot from the pedal, the vehicle speed drops by around 5 km/h, before holding that speed.
Is this normal?
This may be contributing to the inability of the accelerate /set control to be able to slightly increase the vehicle speed. If I hit it to Accel/Set, it will start to speed up, but when the lever is released, the vehicle speed drops by 5 km/h.
