If you need to accelerate—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the preset speed. When you release the
accelerator pedal, the vehicle will return to
the speed set prior to acceleration.
You cannot set a desired speed if the
master warning light comes on, the alarm
sounds and the display indicates the
warning code “E3”. If this code appears
on the display, see
“VEHICLE−TO −VEHICLE DISTANCE
CONTROL MODE FAILURE WARNING” on
page 190.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by doing
any of the following:
a. Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL” direction.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pressing the “ON −OFF” button.
If cancelled by c., the “CRUISE” indicator
light goes off in the instrument panel. In
this case, the preset speed data is
cleared, and you must set the speed from
the beginning. In the following cases, the preset speed
automatically cancels out:
a. When vehicle speed falls below about 40km/h (25 mph).
b. When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10 mph) below the preset speed.
c. When vehicle stability control is acti- vated.
If cancelled by 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.

194
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 “S”
mode in the conventional cruise control
mode, engine braking will not be enabled
because this mode is not cancelled. To
decrease the vehicle’s 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 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.CONVENTIONAL CRUISE CONTROL
MODE FAILURE WARNING
If there is trouble in the conventional
cruise control mode, the “CRUISE” indica-
tor light in the instrument cluster flashes,
the master warning light comes on and
the alarm sounds, the warning code “E3”
will appear on the display.
If a system malfunction is detected when
the conventional cruise control mode is in
the ready mode or operating, the master
warning light comes on, an alarm sounds
and the above code appears.
If this code appears, press the “ON
−OFF”
button to turn the system off and then
push it again to turn it on. If the setting
still cannot be made or the same code
appears again, the system might have
malfunctioned. Although there is no prob-
lem to continue driving, please contact
your Toyota dealer.

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Type 1 and type 2 audio systems utilize
FOCUS and TruBass  audio enhance-
ment technologies, under license from
SRS Labs, Inc., in all mode except AM
radio mode.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (type 3 only), and
bass levels. In fact, different kinds of mu-
sic and vocal programs usually sound bet-
ter with different mixes of treble, midrange
and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another. YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear window.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive
or metallic film) on the rear wi
ndow
will noticeably reduce the sensitivity
of the radio.
YOUR AUDIO DISPLAY
The audio information is displayed on the
center display.
