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. You cannot set a desired speed if the master warning light comes on, the alarm sounds and the display indicates the warning code "E3". If this code appears on the display, see "VEHICLE−TO−VEHICLE DISTANCE CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING" on page 190. CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED You can cancel the preset speed by doing any of the following: a. Pulling the direction. lever in the "CANCEL" In the following cases, the preset speed automatically cancels out: a. When vehicle speed falls below about 40km/h (25 mph). b. When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed. c. When vehicle stability control is activated. If cancelled by b., the preset 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 0.6 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 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 0.6 seconds. b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pressing the "ON−OFF" button. If cancelled by c., the "CRUISE" indicator light goes off in the instrument panel. In this case, the preset speed data is cleared, and you must set the speed from the beginning. 193
