Cruise Control - Toyota 4Runner 2003 Operating Manual

Cruise control

The cruise control allows you to cruise
the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) even 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
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
To help maintain maximum control
of your vehicle, do not use the
cruise control when driving
heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow–covered) or
winding roads.
D
Avoid vehicle speed increases when
driving downhill. If the
speed is too fast in relation to the
cruise control set speed, cancel the
cruise control then downshift the
transmission to use engine braking
to slow down.

SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in "D" 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. If the speed is not satisfac-
tory, tap the lever up for a faster speed,
or tap it down for a slower speed. Each
tap changes the set speed by 1.6 km/h
(1.0 mph). You can now take your foot off
the accelerator pedal.
