STARTING AND DRIVING (b) Setting operation You cannot set a desired speed if the master warning light comes on, the warning tone sounds and the multi−information display indicates a warning message such as "CHECK CRUISE SYSTEM". If this messages appears on the display, see "Conventional cruise control mode failure warning" on page 423. If you turn off the "ON−OFF" button while the warning message is displayed, the warning message turns off and the multi−information display switches to another screen. When you turn the "ON−OFF" button on again, the warning message comes back on the display. If no warning message appears on the display, the setting can be made. You can change the dynamic radar cruise control screen to another screen even while the warning message is displayed. 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 cancelled by a. or b., the multi−information displays shows nothing and the conventional cruise control enters the ready mode. If cancelled by c., the "CRUISE" indicator light goes off in the instrument cluster and the multi−information display shows "CRUISE OFF". In this case, the preset speed data is cleared, and you must set the speed from the beginning. g31002 "Each function is described below. 1 Setting the desired speed The transmission must be in "D", "6" (sixth range), "5" (fifth range) or "4" (fourth range) before you set the cruise control speed in the conventional cruise control mode of the dynamic radar cruise control. After bringing 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 and the multi−information display shows the preset speed. At this time, you may take your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you need to accelerate − for example, when passing − depress the accelerator pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed the preset speed. When you release the accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to acceleration. 421
