STARTING AND DRIVING Setting operation 2 Cancelling the cruise control The cruise control may be temporarily cancelled by the driver or by the system itself under certain circumstances. Temporary cancellation allows the set cruising speed to remain in memory. The cruise control can be temporarily cancelled by doing the following: D Pulling the lever in the "CANCEL" direction and releasing it D Depressing the brake pedal Under certain circumstances, the cruise control is temporarily cancelled: " Each function is described below. 1 D When vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25 mph) D When vehicle stability control is activated When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set speed, the cruise control is cancelled and the set speed is erased from memory. The "CRUISE" indicator light remains on to indicate that the system is still in operation. To turn the cruise control off, press the "ON−OFF" button. Make sure the "CRUISE" indicator light is off. If the cruise control automatically cancels out other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer at the earliest opportunity. Setting the cruising speed The transmission must be in "D" or "4" before you set the cruising speed. Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, push 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. 261
