If cancelled by c., the present speed data is cleared, and you must set the speed from the beginning. If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than the above reasons, do not operate the cruise control. Although it is no problem to continue driving, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportunity. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED Push the lever up in the "+ RES" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain speed. When the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can be increased 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time by pushing the lever up in the "+ RES" direction quickly within 0.5 seconds. However, a faster way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle and then push the lever down in the "− SET" direction. RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED Push the lever down in the "− SET" direction and hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease. When the difference is 5 km/h (3 mph) or more, the vehicle will cruise with its actual speed. When the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the set speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can be lowered 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time by pushing the lever down in the "− SET" direction quickly within 0.5 seconds. However, a faster way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and then push the lever down in the "− SET" direction. Even if you downshift the transmission from the "D" position or "5" (fifth range) to "4" (fourth range) in "S" mode with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be enabled because the cruise control is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed, reset to a slower speed with the cruise control lever or depress the brake pedal. If you use the brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling the control lever or by depressing the brake pedal or by activating the vehicle stability control system, pushing the lever up in the "+ RES" direction will restore the speed set prior to cancellation. If the preset speed is cancelled when vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will be resumed by pushing the control lever up in the "+ RES" direction when vehicle speed exceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph) again. CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING If "CRUISE" indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes when using the cruise control, press the "ON−OFF" button to turn the system off and then push it again to turn it on. If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some trouble in the cruise control system. D The indicator light does not come on. D The indicator light flashes again. D The indicator light goes out after it comes on. If this is the case, contact your Toyota dealer and have your vehicle inspected. 178
