SETTING THE DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in the "D" posi-
tion or the shift range position must be "4"
(fourth range) or "5" (fifth range) in "S"
mode before you set the cruise control
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. At this time, the display
indicates settings such as the preset ve-
hicle speed, whether a vehicle is present
ahead and selected vehicle- to- vehicle dis-
tance. If there is no vehicle detected
ahead, the display does not indicate the
vehicle ahead. You can now take your foot
off the accelerator pedal.

If you need to accelerate—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the preset speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to
the control prior to acceleration.
You cannot set a desired speed if the
master warning light comes on, the alarm
sounds and the display indicates one of
the warning codes "C1", "C2" or "E3". If
any of the above codes appears on the
display, see "VEHICLE- TO- VEHICLE
DISTANCE CONTROL MODE FAILURE
WARNING" on page 183.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by doing
any of the following:
a. Pulling the lever in the "CANCEL"
direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
c. Pressing the "ON- OFF" button.
If cancelled by a. or b., the "READY"
indicator comes on and the dynamic laser
cruise control enters the ready mode.
If cancelled by c., the "CRUISE" indicator
light goes off in the instrument panel. In
this case, the preset speed
cleared, and you must set the speed from
the beginning.
In the following cases, the preset speed
automatically cancels out:
a. The vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph). (40 km/h [25 mph] is
designated as a cancel speed.)
b. The slip indicator light blinks and an
alarm sounds. (This occurs when the
vehicle is about to skid.)
If cancelled by a. or b., the "READY"
indicator comes on and the dynamic laser
cruise control enters the ready mode.
If one of the warning codes "C1", "C2" or
"E3" appears on the display, the preset
