'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508) If you need acceleration-for example, when passing-depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release it, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the acceleration. CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED You can cancel the preset speed by: a. Depressing the brake pedal. b. Pulling the direction. SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED The transmission must be in the "D" position or the shift range position must be "4" (fourth range) or "5" (fifth range) in "S" mode before you set the cruise control speed. Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the "- SET" direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal. lever in the "CANCEL" RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the "+ RES" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, 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 pushing the lever up in the "+ RES" direction quickly within 0.5 seconds. However, a faster way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle and then push the lever down in the "- SET" direction. RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED Push the lever down in the "- SET" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. When the difference is 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, the vehicle will cruise with its actual 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 lowered 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time by pushing the lever down in the "- SET" direction quickly within 0.5 seconds. c. Pressing the "ON- OFF" button. In the following cases, the preset speed automatically cancels out: a. The vehicle speed falls below about 40km/h (25 mph). b. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed, the preset speed will also automatically be 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 Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity. 171
