STARTING AND DRIVING Setting operation 2 Cancelling the preset speed You can cancel the preset speed by doing any of the following: a. Pulling the control lever in the "CANCEL" direction. b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pushing the "ON−OFF" button. If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will be automatically cancelled. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed, the preset speed will also automatically be cancelled. "Each function is described below. 1 Setting at a desired speed. The transmission must be in the "D" position, or the shift range position must be "4" (fourth range), "5" (fifth range) or "6" (sixth range) in the "S" mode before you set the cruise control speed. Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever downward in the "- SET" direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. Now you may take your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you need acceleration − for example, when passing − depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. If the slip indicator light blinks and a warning tone sounds, the preset speed will be automatically cancelled. If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than the above reasons, do not operate the cruise control. Although it is no problem to continue driving, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer at the earliest opportunity. 3 Resetting to a faster speed Press the control lever upward in the "+ RES" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held upward, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. When the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can be increased 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time by pressing the control lever upward in the "+ RES" direction quickly within 0.6 seconds.
