free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.

hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.

Type 2: AMF M ETR radio/cassette player/compact
disc player/compact disc auto changer controller This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audio systems. Some
information may not pertain to your sys-
tem.
Your audio system works when the ignition
key is in the ºACCº or ºONº position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push ºPWR´VOLº or ºPWR/VOLº to turn
the audio system on and off.
Push ºAM´FMº, ºTAPEº or ºCDº to turn on
that function without pushing ºPWR´VOLº
or ºPWR/VOLº.
You can turn on each player by inserting
a cassette tape or compact disc.
You can turn off each player by ejecting
the cassette tape or compact disc. If the
audio system was previously off, then the
entire audio system will be turned off
when you eject the cassette tape or com-
pact disc. If the another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push ºAM´FMº, ºTAPEº or ºCDº if the sys-
tem is already on but you want to switch

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system's tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In
fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent 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
To lower a manual antenna, carefully push
it down.
To lower a power antenna, turn off the
audio system by pushing ºPWR
VOLº or
ºPWR/VOLº, or turn the ignition key to
ºLOCKº.
On some models, the power antenna auto-
matically retracts when the radio mode is
switched off to turn on the cassette tape
player or compact disc player.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is retracted before driv-ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash.
YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
When you insert a cassette, the exposed
tape should be to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and
do not insert anything other than cas-sette tapes into the slot, or the tape player may be damaged.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER
When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. (The player will
automatically eject a disc if the label side
is down.) The compact disc player will
play from track 1 through the end of the
disc. Then it will play from track 1 again.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Donot insert anything except a compact disc into the slot.
8 cm (3 in.) compact disc singles
Your compact disc player does not need
an adaptor to play compact disc singles.
Compact disc singles are about 8 cm (3
in.) in diameter- smaller than standard
discs.
After you eject a compact disc single, do
not insert a standard 12 cm (5 in.) disc
until ºDISCº disappears from the display.
NOTICE
Do not use an adaptor for compact
disc singles
'it could cause tracking
errors or interfere with the ejection of
compact discs.
