Where is the cruise control located on the Prado?

Currently, most cruise control systems primarily consist of the following buttons: power key (ON/OFF), cancel key (CANCEL), set current speed (SET), and resume set speed (RES). The acceleration (+) is usually combined with the RES key, while deceleration (-) is combined with the SET key. Here are some extended guidelines: Please use the system with caution or refrain from using it under the following circumstances: It is prohibited in urban roads, ordinary roads, or highways with heavy traffic; use with caution in rainy weather and avoid using when the road surface has standing water, as it may lead to loss of control; prohibited in snowy, icy, or foggy conditions; use with caution on highways with many curves; beginners should use with caution.
I remember when I first looked for the cruise control on the Land Cruiser Prado, it took me a while to figure it out. Later, I found its location quite intuitive—it's on the right side of the steering wheel, near the multifunction control buttons. There's usually a small round or square button labeled "CRUISE" or with a similar icon. Press it to activate the cruise system, then once you're driving above 40-50 km/h, hit the SET button to lock in your current speed, and it will maintain it automatically. This feature is incredibly useful on long drives, saving me a lot of leg fatigue. However, beginners should be cautious not to activate it in congested urban areas to avoid accidents due to delayed reactions. Also, regularly clean the buttons to prevent dust buildup and poor contact. If it occasionally malfunctions, it might be a blown fuse or wiring issue—just get it checked at a shop. Overall, the operation is simple, but don’t take it lightly—safety first!
