STARTING AND DRIVING

Turning on the system
31L067
To operate the cruise control, push the main switch. This turns the
system on. The indicator light in the instrument cluster shows that
you can now set your desired cruising speed. Another push on the
switch will turn the system completely off.
When the ignition key is turned off, the main switch is also
automatically turned off. To use the cruise control again, push the
main switch again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control engagement, keep the main
switch off when not using the cruise control.
Setting at a desired speed
31L068
The transmission must be in ”D” or ”4” before you set the cruise
control speed.
Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever
downward in the ”SET/COAST” 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 ”CANCEL” direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.

STARTING AND DRIVING
170If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset
speed 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 ”RES/ACC” 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) each time by pressing the control lever upward in the
”RES/ACC” direction quickly within 0.6 seconds.
However, a quicker way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle and then
press the control lever downward in the ”SET/COAST” direction.
Resetting to a slower speed
Press the control lever downward in the ”SET/COAST” 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) each time by pressing the control lever downward in
the ”SET/COAST” direction quickly within 0.6 seconds.
However, a quicker way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and
then press the control lever downward in the ”SET/COAST”
direction.
Even if you downshift the transmission from the ”D” position to ”4”
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
depressing the brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the ”RES/ACC”
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.
