Conventional Cruise Control Mode - Toyota AVALON 2005 Manual

—Conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode
This mode allows you to cruise at a
desired speed over about 45 km/h (28
mph) with your foot off the accelerator
pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades within the limits of engine
performance, although a slight speed
change may occur when driving up or
down the grades. On steeper hills, a
greater speed change will occur so it is
better to drive without the cruise control.
CAUTION
D
In the conventional (fixed speed)
cruise control mode, the approach
warning does not activate and no
alarm will sound even if you are
too close to the vehicle ahead, as
neither the presence of the vehicle
ahead nor the vehicle- to- vehicle
distance is detected. Pay special
attention to the distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead.
Always confirm the setting in the
display.

tional cruise control mode when us-
ing dynamic laser cruise control
while driving in heavy or varying
traffic, or on slippery (rainy, icy or
snow- covered) or winding roads.
Avoid vehicle speed increasing
when driving downhill. If the vehicle
speed is too fast in relation to the

sion to use engine braking to slow
down.
