Turning the system on and off
31X604
To turn the cruise control on, press the “ON–OFF” button. The
“CRUISE” indicator light in the instrument cluster will come on
to indicate that the cruise control is operational. Pressing the
“ON–OFF” button again turns the system off.
When the system is turned off, cruising speed must be reset
when the cruise control is turned on again.
When the ignition key is turned off, the “ON–OFF” switch is
also automatically turned off. To use the cruise control again,
push the “ON–OFF” switch again to turn it on.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging the cruise control, turn
the system off when it is not in use. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.
Setting operation
31X605
 Each function is described below.
1
Setting the cruise speed.
The transmission must be in “D” or “4” before you set the
cruising speed.
Bring the vehicle to the desired speed, press the control lever
downward in the “– SET” direction and release it. This sets the
vehicle at that speed. Now you may take your foot off the
accelerator pedal. If you need acceleration − for example,
when passing − depress the accelerator pedal enough for the
vehicle to exceed the set speed. When you release the
accelerator pe dal, the vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.

STARTING AND DRIVING

2Cancelling the cruise control
The cruise control may be temporarily cancelled by the driver
or by the system itself under certain circumstances.
Temporary cancellation allows the set cruising speed to remain
in memory.
The cruise control can be temporarily cancelled by doing the
following:
 Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it
 Depressing the brake pedal
Under certain circumstances, the cruise control is temporarily
cancelled:
 When vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25 mph)
 When vehicle stability control is activated
When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the set
speed, the cruise control is cancelled and the set speed is
erased from memory.
The “CRUISE” indicator light remains on to indicate that the
system is still in operation.
To turn the cruise control off, push the “ON− OFF” button. Make
sure the “CRUISE” indicator light is off.
If the cruise control automatically cancels out other than for the
above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Lexus dealer
at the earliest opportunity. 3 Resuming the cruise control
If the cruise control is temporarily cancelled, the cruising speed
can be resumed by pushing th e lever up in the “+ RES”
direction.
Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25 mph).
4 Resetting to a faster speed
Press the control lever upward in the “+ RES” direction and
hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained.
While the lever is held upward, 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 pressing the control
lever upward in the “+ RES” direction quickly within 0.6
seconds.
However, a quicker way to reset is to accelerate the vehicle
and then press the control lever downward in the “– SET”
direction.

STARTING AND DRIVING
278
5Resetting to a slower speed
Press the control lever downward in the “– SET” direction and
hold it. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained.
While the lever is held downward, 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 pressing the control
lever downward in the “– SET” direction quickly within 0.6
seconds.
However, a quicker way to reset is to depress the brake pedal
and then press the control lever downward in the “– SET”
direction.
Even if you turn off the overdrive switch with the cruise control
on, engine braking will not be applied because the cruise
control is not cancelled. To decrease the vehicle 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.Cruise control failure warning
If the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes when using the cruise
control, press the “ON −OFF” button to turn the system off and
then press it again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then occurs, there is some
trouble in the cruise control system.
 The indicator light does not come on.
 The indicator light flashes again.
 The indicator light goes out after it comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Lexus dealer and have your
Lexus inspected.

VARIABLE GEAR RATIO STEERINGSYSTEM
The variable gear ratio steering system adjusts the wheel
turning angle depending on the vehicle speed and how
much you turn the steering wheel.
The vehicle wheel turning angle will be changed with a smaller
degree of wheel maneuvering when you are driving at very low
speed such as when putting your vehicle into a garage.
In the following cases, to prevent the system from overheating,
the system could be temporarily deactivated with the change
in the center position of the steering wheel. This is not a
malfunction. After the cause of the problem is eliminated, the
system will return to normal automatically after a few minutes.
 If you continue maneuvering the steering wheel when the
vehicle is stopped or running at very low speed
 If you continue driving holding the steering wheel to the
extreme right or left
 If you maneuver the steering wheel immediately after
starting the engine at less than about −30C (− 22F) While the system is not functioning, a larger degree of wheel
maneuvering is needed during driving at low speed. If the
center position of the steering wheel is changed frequently,
have your vehicle inspected at your Lexus dealer.
CAUTION
Take due care especially when driving at low speed as
the vehicle changes direction in greater proportion to
the steering wheel maneuvering.
NOTICE
Do not disconnect the battery with the steering wheel
turned, or the center position of the steering wheel
could be slightly and temporarily changed. However,
after driving for a short while, the system will return to
normal
and the center position of the steering wheel will
be in the appropriate position.
The light will flash if you disconnect and reconnect the battery
terminal. This is because the system is reset temporarily.
However, it is no problem to drive. To turn off the light, drive for
a short while. The system will be set automatically and return
to normal.

The tire pressure warning light may turn on due to natural
causes such as natural air l
eaks or tire inflation pressure
changes caused by temperature. In this case, adjusting the
tire inflation pressure will turn off the light.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch should not turn
off the tire pressure warning light. Adjusting the tire inflation
pressure will turn off the light.
The spare tire is also equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and transmitter. The tire pressure warning light will turn
on if the tire inflation pressure of the spare tire is low. If a tire
goes flat, even though the flat tire is replaced with the spare
tire, the warning light does not turn off. Replace the spare tire
with the repaired tire and adjust the proper tire inflation
pressure. The tire pressure warning light will turn off after a few
minutes.
CAUTION
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be
checked monthly when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle manufacturer on
the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire
and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of
a different size than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure label (tire and load
information label), you should determine the proper tire
inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been
equipped with a tire pressure monitoring system
(TPMS–tire pressure warning system) that illuminates a
low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light)
when one or more of your tires is significantly
underinflated. Accordingly, when the low tire pressure
telltale (tire pressure warning light) illuminates, you
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible,
and inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a
significantly underinflated tire causes the tire to
overheat and can lead to tire failure. Underinflation
also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) is not a substitute for proper tire maintenance,
and it is the driver’s responsibility to maintain correct
tire pressure, even if underinflation has not reached
the level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire
pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light).
