Cruise Control Failure Warning; Resetting To A Slower Speed; Resuming The Preset Speed - Toyota Lexus IS300 Manual

4

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.
Automatic transmission: Even if you downshift the
transmission from the "D" position to "M" 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.
