4RUNNER (1998)
TURNING ON THE SYSTEM
To operate the cruise control, press
the ºCRUISE ON- OFFº button. This
turns the system on. The indicator
light in the instrument panel shows
that you can now set the vehicle at
a desired cruising speed. Another
press will turn the system completely
off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control
engagement, keep the ºCRUISE
ON- OFFº switch off when not us-
ing the cruise control.

SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
On vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion, the transmission must be in ºDº
before you set the cruise control
speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired
speed, push the lever down in the
ºSET/COASTº direction and release it.
This sets the vehicle at that speed. If
the speed is not satisfactory, tap the
lever up for a faster speed, or tap it
down for a slower speed. Each tap
changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h
(1.0 mph). You can now take your foot
off the accelerator pedal. If you need accelerationÐfor example,
when passingÐdepress the accelera-
tor pedal enough for the vehicle to
exceed the set speed. When you re-
lease it, the vehicle will return to the
speed set prior to the acceleration.
CAUTION
For manual transmission:
While driving with the cruise con-
trol on, do not shift to neutral
without depressing the clutch
pedal, as this may cause engine
racing or overrevving.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:a. Pulling the lever in the ºCANCELº
direction and releasing it.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
c. Depressing the clutch pedal (manu- al transmission).
If the vehicle speed falls below about
40 km/h (25 mph), the preset speed
will automatically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h
(10 mph) below the preset speed, the
preset speed will also automatically
cancel out.

If the preset speed automatically can-
cels out other than for the above
cases, have your vehicle checked by
your Toyota dealer at the earliest op-
portunity.
RESETTING AT A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the ºRES/ACCº
direction and hold it. Release the le-
ver when the desired speed is at-
tained. While the lever is held up, the
vehicle will gradually gain speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to
accelerate the vehicle and then push
the lever down in the ºSET/COASTº
direction.
RESETTING AT A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the ºSET/
COASTº direction and hold it. Release
the lever when the desired speed is
attained. While the lever is held down,
the vehicle speed will gradually de-
crease.
However, a faster way to reset is to
depress the brake pedal and then
push the lever down in the ºSET/
COASTº direction. On vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion, even if you turn off the overdrive
switch, with the cruise control on, en-
gine braking will not be applied be-
cause the cruise control is not can-
celled. 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 ped-
al, cruise control is cancelled.
RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by
pulling the control lever or by de-
pressing the brake pedal or clutch
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 system.
