To connect the extender to the seat
belt, insert the tab into the seat belt
buckle so that the PRESSº signs onthe buckle-release buttons of the ex-
tender and the seat belt are both facing
outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on the
buckle-release button on the extender, not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extend-er itself.
When not in use, remove the extender
and store in the vehicle for future use.
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the seat belt extender is not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent you
from properly latching the tab and buckle.
If the seat belt does not function
normally, i mmediately contact your
Toyota dealer.
CAUTION!
The SRS (Supplemental Restraint Sys-
tem) airbags are designed to provide
further protection to the driver and
front passenger when added to the pri-
mary protection provided by the seatbelts.
In response to a severe frontal impact, the
SRS airbags work together with the seatbelts to prevent or reduce injury by inflat- ing, in order to decrease the likelihood of
the driver's or front passenger's head or
chest directly hitting the steering wheel or dashboard. The passenger airbag is acti- vated even with no passenger in the frontseat. SRS airbags

You can listen to the car audio system
when the ignition key is at ONº or
ACCº. However, if the engine is not
running,
the key must be in the ACCº
position.
ILLUMINATION CONTROL LOGIC When the instrument panel lights are on,
the letters on operable buttons of the
mode in current use light up. On some au-
dio-units, the mode selection and eject
buttons also light up.
On some audio-units, when a cassette tape is not in the slot, the letters on the tape mode buttons do not light up, but the
slot lights up for easy access. Once a cas-
sette tape is inserted, the letters on the
tape mode buttons light up, and the slot
stops illuminating. RADIO FM reception tips
Most of us are not aware that a vehicle is
not an ideal place to listen to a radio. Be- cause it moves, reception conditions
change continuously. Buildings, terrain,
signal distance and noise from other ve-
hicles are all working against good recep-
tion. Some FM reception conditions may appear to be problems even though they are normal.
The following characteristics are normal
for a given reception area, and they do not
indicate any problem with the radio itself.
Fading and Drifting: On the average,
the broadcast range of FM stations is limited to about 40 km (25 miles), ex-cept for some high power stations.
If a vehicle is moving away from the
desired station's transmitter, the signal
will tend to fade and/or drift. This phe-
nomenon is more noticeable with FM
than with AM, and is accompanied by distortion.
Fading and drifting can be minimized
to a certain degree by fine tuning, or
you should tune in to a stronger signal.
Static and Fluttering: When the line-
of-sight path between a transmitter
and vehicle is blocked by large build-
ings or the like, static or fluttering may
occur because of the characteristic of
FM. In a similar effect, a fluttering
noise is sometimes heard when driv-
ing along a tree-lined road.
This static and fluttering can be re-
duced by adjusting the tone control for
greater bass response until the distur-
bance has passed.

70(a) Listening to the radio
1. Push the AM
VFMº button to turn the
radio on and select either an AM or FM broadcast.
AMº or FMº will appear on the display.
The radio can also be turned on by push-
ing the PWR VVOLº knob if the radio was
on when the system was turned off.
2. Turn the PWR VVOLº knob to adjust
the volume.
3. Tune in the desired station. (See (b)
Selecting a stationº and (c) Presetting astationº.)
The radio will change automatically to ste-
reo reception when an FM stereo broad-
cast is being received. At the same time,
STº will appear on the display. When the
receiving signal gets weak, the channel
separation will automatically be reduced
for the lowest noise. If the signal becomes
extremely weak, the radio will switch over
to monaural reception.
4. Adjust the tone and sound balance. (See (d) Adjusting the toneº and (e) Ad-
justing the sound balanceº.)
5. To turn the radio off, push the PWR VVOLº knob. (b) Selecting a station
Tune in the desired station using one of
the following methods. The frequency will
appear on the display.
Preset tuning:
Use for tuning-in to a de-
sired preset station. (See (c) Presetting a stationº.) Push the station selector button which has been preset to the desired station.
The radio will tune in to the station and the
button number will appear on the display.
Seek tuning: Use for automatic station
search and stop. Push the TUNE SEEK (REW FF)º button
on either side and hold it until a beep is heard. The radio will begin seeking up or
down for a station of the nearest frequen-
cy and will stop on reception. Each time
you push the button, stations will be
sought out one after another.
If the radio cannot seek out any stations
in one pass because of too weak signals,
the radio will begin seeking again with
sensitivity boosted for searching out weak
stations. At this time, DXº will appear on
the display. Manual tuning Push
the TUNE SEEK (REW FF)º button
on either side for less than 0.5 second.
Each time you push the button, the radio
will step up or down to another frequency
where stations could exist. (c) Presetting a station
1. Tune in the desired station. (See (b)
Selecting a stationº.)
2. Push either side of the station selector
buttons and hold it until a beep is heard.
This sets the station to the button and the
button number will appear on the display. Each side of the buttons can store one AM
station and one FM station. To change the preset station to a dif ferent one, follow the
same procedure.
The preset station will be cancelled when
the power source is severed (battery dis- connected, burnt fuse, etc.). (d) Adjusting the tone
To adjust a low-pitched tone, push the
BASS TREBº knob (if pushed in) and turn
it.
To adjust a high-pitched tone, push the
BASS TREBº knob (if pushed in), pull it fully out and turn it.
