Parking Brake; Cruise Control - Toyota 2004 HIGHLANDER User Manual

Parking brake

Type A
Type B
'04 HIGHLANDER_U (L/O 0308)
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Fully depress the parking brake
pedal. For better holding power, first de-
press the brake pedal and hold it while
setting the parking brake.
To release: Depress the parking brake
pedal once again.
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.
The buzzer will remind you to release the
parking brake when the vehicle speed
rises above 5 km/h (3 mph) with the park-
ing brake is applied.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.

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
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
A
To help maintain maximum control
of your vehicle, do not use the
cruise control when
heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow- covered) or
winding roads.
A
Avoid vehicle speed increases when
driving downhill. If
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.
