STARTING AND DRIVING145
Setting at a desired speed
31L014
The transmission must be in ºDº before you set the cruise control spe\
ed.
Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever downward in th\
e
ºSET/COASTº direction and release it. This sets the vehicle at that speed.
Now you may take your foot off the accelerator pedal. If you need
acceleration ± for example, when passing ± depress the accelerator pedal
enough for the vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior to the
acceleration.
Cancelling the preset speed
You can cancel the preset speed by either of the following:
a. Pulling the control lever in the ºCANCELº direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset spee\
d will
be automatically cancelled.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed, the \
preset
speed will also automatically be cancelled.
If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than these reasons\
, have
your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer at the earliest opportunity.
Resetting to a faster speed
Press the control lever upward in the ºRES/ACCº direction and hold it.
Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held
upward, 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) eac\
h
time by pressing the control lever upward in the ºRES/ACCº direction
quickly.
However, a quicker way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle and then press the
control lever downward in the ºSET/COASTº direction.

STARTING AND DRIVING
146
Resetting to a slower speed
Press the control lever downward in the ºSET/COASTº direction and hold \
it.
Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held
downward, 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) e\
ach time
by pressing the control lever downward in the ºSET/COASTº direction
quickly.
However, a quicker way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and then press
the control lever downward in the ºSET/COASTº direction.
Even if you turn off the overdrive switch with the cruise control on, engine
braking will not be applied 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 depr\
essing
the brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the ºRES/ACCº direction will\
restore
the speed set prior to cancellation. However, once the vehicle speed falls
below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will not be resumed.
Cruise control failure warning
If the ºCRUISEº indicator light in the instrument cluster flashes fi\
ve times and
then goes out when using the cruise control, it means that there is trouble in
the cruise control system. Contact your Lexus dealer.
