Resetting To A Slower Speed

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Lexus ES 300 and 2002 Lexus ES 300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Press the control lever downward in the SET/COAST 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 3 mph (5 km/h), the set speed can be lowered 1 mph (1.6 km/h) each time by pressing the control lever downward in the SET/COAST direction quickly. However, a quicker way to reset is to depress the brake pedal and then press the control lever downward in the SET/COAST 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.
