Push ºTAPEº to switch from radio or com-
pact disc operation to cassette operation.
If the audio system is off, you can turn
on the cassette player by pushing ºTAPEº.
In both cases, a cassette must already be
loaded in the player.
TRACK (Track up/down button):
Compact disc player
By using this button, you can skip up or
down to a different track.
Push either side of the track button until
the number of the track you want to listen
to appears on the display. If you want to
return to the beginning of the current
track, push the down side of the button
one time, quickly.
TUNE (Tuning)
Your Toyota has an electronic tuning radio
(ETR). Push and release the ºº (up) or
ºº (down) side of ºTUNEº to step up or
down the station band. (If you hear a
beep, you held the button too long and
the radio will go into the seek mode.)NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio system
operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or Compact Disc into
the slot.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radioÐit is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range, and the farther you
are from a station, the weaker its signal
will be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves.
Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem with your radio:FM
Fading and drifting stationsÐGenerally, the
effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may
notice fading and drifting, which increase
with the distance from the radio transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi±pathÐFM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each oth-
er out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
Static and flutteringÐThese occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swappingÐIf the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again.

2. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH A CATALYTIC CONVERTER
CAUTION:
If large amount of unburned gasoline flows into the converter, it may overheat and create a fire haz-
ard. To prevent this, observe the following precautions and explain them to your customer.
(a) Use only unleaded gasoline.
(b) Avoid prolonged idling.
Avoid running the engine at idle speed for more than 20 minutes.
(c) Avoid spark jump test.
(1) Perform spark jump test only when absolutely necessary. Perform this test as rapidly as possible.
(2) While testing, never race the engine.
(d) Avoid prolonged engine compression measurement.
Engine compression tests must be done as rapidly as possible.
(e) Do not run engine when fuel tank is nearly empty.
This may cause the engine to misfire and create an extra load on the converter.
(f) Avoid coasting with ignition turned off.
(g) Do not dispose of used catalyst along with parts contaminated with gasoline or oil.
3. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
For vehicles with mobile communication systems such as two±way radios and cellular telephones, observe
the following precautions.
(1) Install the antenna as far as possible away from the ECU and sensors of the vehicle's electronic
system.
(2) Install the antenna feeder at least 20 cm (7.87 in.) away from the ECU and sensors of the ve-
hicle's electronic systems. For details about ECU and sensors locations, refer to the section on
the applicable component.
(3) Avoid winding the antenna feeder together with other wiring as much as possible, and also avoid
running the antenna feeder parallel with other wire harnesses.
(4) Check that the antenna and feeder are correctly adjusted.
(5) Do not install powerful mobile communications system.

BULLETIN
March 31, 2000
The trunk courtesy connection for 1999 model year Camry vehicles equipped with a Port
Installed Option RS3000 (V3) has been relocated from the luggage compartment light
switch to below the dash (lower finish panel) on the driver's side in the Instrument Panel
J/B. (Refer to Illustrations A & B on page 2.)
The location was changed to improve the installation process.
A splicing connector is used for the new trunk courtesy wire installation (blue) to the
vehicle's wire harness at Instrument Panel J/B (red/yellow).
The previous location is the same as the dealer installed RS3000 trunk courtesy
connection to the luggage compartment light switch connection.
For service related purposes, this bulletin describes the procedures to locate the new
trunk courtesy connection at Instrument Panel J/B in vehicles equipped with PIO
RS3000.
The remote transmitter has two
buttons, Top and Bottom. The status monitor has a Toyota label,
LED, and microphone.

BULLETIN
April 9, 1999
This bulletin describes the procedures that are used to program the two±button remote
control for vehicles that are equipped with the dealer or port installed option (PIO), not
the factory security system. For factory security system remote control programming,
refer to the appropriate vehicle repair manual.
Verification of the dealer or PIO Toyota VIP can easily be performed by identifying the
status monitor or remote transmitter.
The remote transmitter has two
buttons, Top and Bottom. The status monitor has a Toyota
label, LED, and microphone.
Remote Control Status MonitorLED
Microphone
Starting with 1998 MY, the remote controls for the RS3000 System were revised with new
coding logics. The color of the remote control cases was changed from Black to Gray to
help identify the new remote controls. The new (Gray) remote controls will not work with
the RS3000 ECU's produced prior to 1998 MY. The old (Black) remote controls are still
available for Service Parts.
NOTE:
The TVIP is programmed to operate with the two remote controls that come with the
vehicle. The ECU (computer) can be programmed to operate with up to four different
remote controls. For customer satisfaction, request that any existing remote be
furnished when programming a new or replacement unit.
