Resetting At A Faster Speed; Resetting At A Slower Speed; Resuming The Preset Speed; Cruise Control Failure Warning - Toyota RAV4 1997 Owner's Manual

If the preset speed automatically cancels
out other than for the above cases or, if the
indicator light flashes several times, the
cruise control may be malfunctioning. In
such cases, have your vehicle checked by
your Toyota dealer at the earliest opportu-
nity.

RESETTING AT A FASTER SPEED

Push the lever up in the "RES/ACC" direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held up, the vehicle will gradually
gain speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to accel-
erate the vehicle and then push the lever
down in the "SET/COAST" direction.

RESETTING AT A SLOWER SPEED

Push the lever down in the "SET/COAST"
direction and hold it. Release the lever
when the desired speed is attained. While
the lever is held down, the vehicle speed
will gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the "SET/COAST" direction.
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
even if you turn off the overdrive switch
with the cruise control on, engine braking

will not be applied because the cruise con-
trol is not cancelled. To decrease the ve-
hicle 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 or clutch pedal, pushing the
lever up in the "RES/ACC" direction will
restore the speed set prior to cancellation.
However, once the vehicle speed falls be-
low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset
speed will not be resumed.
