2003 Lexus LS 430 Owners Manual - Page 267

STARTING AND DRIVING The dynamic laser cruise control function has 2 cruise control modes: vehicle − to − vehicle distance control mode for maintaining an appropriate distance between vehicles, and a conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode for cruising at preset speeds. Changing the dynamic laser cruise control mode CAUTION Always drive carefully and attentively when using either cruise control mode. Read and understand the Owner's Manual thoroughly before using the cruise control. To avoid serious injury or death, do not rely on the system to avoid accidents or to control the vehicle's speed in emergency situations. Do not use cruise control except in appropriate road and traffic conditions. 31L174 " 1 Vehicle−to−vehicle distance control mode 2 Conventional (fixed speed) cruise control mode When you push the main switch, the vehicle −to−vehicle distance mode is activated.
