CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging the
cruise control, turn the system off
when it is not in use. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.

SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED
5−speed models—The transmission must
be in the “D” position or the shift range
position must be in “4” (fourth range) or
“5” (fifth range) in “S” mode before you
set the cruising speed.
6 −speed models—The transmission must
be in the “D” position or the shift range
position must be in between “4” (fourth
range) and “6” (sixth range) in “S” position
before you set the cruising speed. Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the “
−SET” direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed. If the speed is not satisfac-
tory, 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 acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control may be temporarily
cancelled by the driver or by the system
itself under certain circumstances. Tempo-
rary cancellation allows the set cruising
speed to remain in memory.
The cruise control can be temporarily can-
celled by doing the following:
Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” di-
rection and releasing it
Depressing the brake pedal
Under certain circumstances, the cruise
control is temporarily cancelled:

264
2008 TUNDRA from Apr. ’08 Prod. (OM 34477U)
When vehicle speed falls below 40
km/h (25 mph)
When vehicle stability control is acti-
vated
When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the set speed, the cruise con-
trol is cancelled and the set speed is
erased from memory.
The “CRUISE” indicator light remains on
to indicate that the system is still in op-
eration.
To turn the cruise control off, press the
“ON −OFF” button. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.
If the cruise control automatically cancels
out other than for the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity.
RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL
If the cruise control is temporarily can-
celled, the cruising speed can be resumed
by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”
direction.
Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25
mph). 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.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “−
SET” direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “ −SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
Even if you downshift from “D” to “S” 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. CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes
when using the cruise control, press the
“ON
−OFF” button to turn the system off
and then press it again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

Laser products
Do not take this unit apart or at-
tempt to make any changes your-
self. This is an intricate unit that
uses a laser pickup to retrieve

compact discs. The laser is care-
fully shielded so that its rays re-
main inside the cabinet. There-
fore, never try to disassemble the
player or alter any of its parts
since you may be exposed to la-
ser rays and dangerous voltages.
This product ut ilizes a laser. Use
of controls or adjustments or per-
formance of procedures other
than those specified herein may
result in hazardous radiation ex-
posure.

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system. Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (JBL brand audio sys-
tem
∗ only), and bass levels. In fact, differ-
ent kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes
of treble, midrange, and bass.
You can adjust sound characteristics. Dif-
ferent sound characteristics can be re-
corded for each audio source.
∗: If a JBL brand audio system is installed, the “JBL” logo is shown on
the panel.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another. YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
To remove an antenna, carefully turn it
counterclockwise.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is removed before driv-
ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash.
