'06 HIGHLANDER HB_U (L/O 0503) Parking brake When parking, firmly apply the parking brake to avoid inadvertent creeping. To set: Fully depress the parking brake pedal. For better holding power, first depress the brake pedal and hold it while setting the parking brake. To release: Depress the parking brake pedal once again. To remind you that the parking brake is set, the parking brake reminder light (red brake system warning light) in the instrument panel remains on until you release the parking brake. Type A Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40 km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Within the hybrid system capabilities, cruising speed will be maintained up or down grades. Because speed changes will increase in proportion to grade, cruise control should not be used on steeper hills. CAUTION A warning message "PARK BRAKE" appears on the multi −information display and a warning tone sounds to remind you to release the parking brake when the vehicle speed rises above 5 km/h (3 mph) with the parking brake is applied. 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. CAUTION Before driving, be sure the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. Type B 172 2006 HIGHLANDER (Hybrid) from Mar. '05 Prod. (OM48530U)
