SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in the "D" posi-
tion or the shift range position must be "4"
(fourth range) or "5" (fifth range) in "S"
mode 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.
'06 AVALON_U (L/O 0508)
If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:
a. Depressing the brake pedal.
b. Pulling the lever in the "CANCEL"
direction.
c. Pressing the "ON- OFF" button.
In the following cases, the preset speed
automatically cancels out:
a. The vehicle speed falls below about
40km/h (25 mph).
b. If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the pre-
set speed will also automatically be
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 Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity.

RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the "+ RES" direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, 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 pushing the lever up in the "+ RES"
direction quickly within 0.5 seconds.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the "- SET" direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the "- SET" direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
When the difference is 5 km/h (3 mph) or
more, the vehicle will cruise with its
actual speed. When the difference be-
tween the actual vehicle speed and the
set speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph),
the set speed can be lowered 1.6 km/h (1
mph) each time by pushing the lever down
in the "- SET" direction quickly within 0.5
seconds.
