SET/COAST Switch

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Toyota Prius. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Setting A Desired Speed

The transmission must be in "D"or "B" before you set the cruise control speed.

Bring your vehicle to the desired speed, push the lever down in the "SET/COAST " direction and release it. See Figure. This sets the vehicle at that speed. If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down for a slower speed. Each tap changes the set speed by 1.0 mph (1.6 km/h.). You can now take your foot off the accelerator pedal.

Resetting To A Slower Speed

Push the lever down in the "SET/COAST " direction and hold it. See Figure. Release the lever when the desired speed is attained. While the lever is held down, the vehicle speed will gradually decrease.

However a faster way to reset it is to depress the brake pedal and then push the lever down in the "SET/COAST " direction.
