Setting at a desired speed.

The transmission must be in the "D" position, or the shift range
position must be "4" (fourth range), "5" (fifth range) or "6" (sixth
range) in the "S" mode before you set the cruise control speed.
Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever
downward in the "SET/COAST" direction and release it. This
sets the vehicle at that speed. Now you may 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 the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.

Cancelling the preset speed

You can cancel the preset speed by either of the following:
a. Pulling the control lever in the "CANCEL" direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25 mph), the
preset speed will be automatically cancelled.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset
speed, the preset speed will also automatically be cancelled.
If the slip indicator light blinks and a warning tone sounds, the
preset speed will be automatically cancelled.
If the preset speed automatically cancels out for other than the
above reasons, do not operate the cruise control. Although it
is no problem to continue driving, have your vehicle checked
by your Lexus dealer at the earliest opportunity.

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.
