2003 Toyota Land Cruiser Owners Manual - Page 138

Cruise control CAUTION Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over about 40 km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained within the limits of engine performance, although a slight speed change may occur when driving up or down the grades. On steeper hills, a greater speed change will occur so it is better to drive without the cruise control. When the cruise control is on, the driving pattern of the automatic transmission is fixed in the normal position, regardless of the position of the driving pattern selector switch. CAUTION D To help maintain maximum control of your vehicle, do not use the cruise control when driving in heavy or varying traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or snow -covered) or winding roads. D Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. If the vehicle speed is too fast in relation to the cruise control set speed, cancel the cruise control then downshift the transmission to use engine braking to slow down. 138 2002 L/C100 from Aug.
