Toyota Avalon Owner's Manual page 209

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.
c. The slip indicator light blinks and an
alarm sounds. (This occurs when the
vehicle is about to skid.)
If cancelled by a. or b., the preset speed
data is cleared and you must set the
speed from the beginning.
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 0.6 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 between 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 0.6 seconds.

However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the "- SET" direction.
Even if you downshift from "D" position or
"5" (fifth range) to "4" (fourth range) in
sequential mode in the conventional cruise
control mode, engine braking will not be
enabled because this mode is not cancel-
led. To decrease the vehicle's speed, re-
set 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 lever, by depressing the brake pedal
or by activating the vehicle stability con-
trol system, pushing the lever up in the
"+ RES" direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
If the preset speed is cancelled when ve-
hicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25
mph), the preset speed will be resumed
by pushing the control lever up in the "+
RES" direction when vehicle speed ex-
ceeds about 40 km/h (25 mph) again.
