Resetting To A Faster Speed; Resetting To A Slower Speed; Resuming The Preset Speed; Cruise Control Failure Warning - Lexus GS300 1998 Owner's Manual

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.

Cruise control failure warning

If the "CRUISE" indicator light in the instrument cluster
flashes five 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.
