'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508) Dynamic laser cruise control- However, a faster way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and then push the lever down in the "- SET" direction. Even if you downshift the transmission from the "D" position or "5" (fifth range) to "4" (fourth range) in sequential mode with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever or by depressing the brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the "+ RES" direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation. If the preset speed is cancelled when vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will be resumed by pushing the control lever up in the "+ RES" direction when vehicle speed exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph) again. CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING If "CRUISE" indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, push "ON- OFF" button to turn the system off and then push it again to turn it on. If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some trouble in the cruise control system. Dynamic laser cruise control allows you to drive at a selected cruising speed over about 45 km/h (28 mph) with your foot off the accelerator pedal, maintaining an appropriate vehicle- to- vehicle distance.
