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.
The use of cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio sys-
tem which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—it 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. 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 stations—Generally, 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−path—FM 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 fluttering—These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping—If 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.AM
Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at night.
These reflected signals can interfere with
those received directly from the radio sta-
tion, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference—When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a
radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static—AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.
CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle your
cassette tapes. The easiest way to
clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)

Air flow selector settings Operating tips
To cool off your Toyota after it has
been parked in the hot sun, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes.
This vents the hot air, allowing the air
conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.
Make sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).
On humid days, do not blow cold air
on the windshield. The windshield could
fog up because of the difference in air
temperature on the inside and outside
of the windshield.
Keep the area under the front seats
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.
On cold days, move the fan speed to
“HI” for a minute to help clear the in-
take ducts of snow or moisture. This
can reduce the amount of fogging on
the windows.
When driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake selector be set to
FRESH and the fan speed selector to
any setting except “OFF”.

display from clock to outside temperature
gauge. (See “Outside temperature gauge”
in this section.)
Outside temperature gauge
The outside temperature gauge indi-
cates the outside air temperature.
The key must be in the “ON” position.
To change the display from clock to out-
side temperature gauge, push and release
“MODE”. The display changes in order
from clock to outside temperature gauge
(°F) to outside temperature gauge (°C),
then back to clock each time you push.
(See “Clock” in this section.)
1. Outside temperature gauge
(°F)—Shows outside air temperature in
Fahrenheit.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−22°F to 122°F.2. Outside temperature gauge
(°C)—Shows the outside air tempera-
ture in Celsius.
The displayed temperature ranges from
−30°C to 50°C.
When you return the key to the “ACC”
position, the display returns to clock.
If there is a problem with the connection
to the outside air temperature sensor, “−−”
will appear on the display. Contact your
authorized Toyota CNG dealer.
When the instrument panel lights are
turned on, the brightness of the tempera-
ture indicator is reduced.

cups or drink−cans securely.
Front: To use the holder, open the lid.
Rear: To use the holder, pull it out.
CAUTION
Do not place anything else other
than cups or drink−cans on the cup

an accident.
To reduce the chance of injury in
case of an accident or sudden stop
while driving, keep the cup holder
closed when it is not in use.
Floor mat
Use a floor mat of the correct size.
If the floor carpet and floor mat have a
hole, then it is designed for use with a
locking clip. Fix the floor mat with locking
clip into the hole in the floor carpet.CAUTION
Make sure the floor mat is properly
placed on the floor carpet. If the floor
mat slips and interferes with the
movement of the pedals during driv-
ing, it may cause an accident.

NOTICE
Do not damage the tank. If the tank
is damaged, have it inspected by
your authorized Toyota CNG dealer
as soon as possible.
Do not expose the tank to chlorine,
oxygen or other corrosive liquids.
This tank is intended for use with
compressed natural gas—the fuel
for this vehicle. Do not use it for
any other purpose.
SERVICE PRESSURE:
24800 kPa (3600 psig)
Equivalent gasoline capacity:
43 L (11.4 gal., 9.5 lmp.gal.)
Water volume:
135 L (35.7 gal., 29.7 lmp.gal.)
—Fuel shut off system
If the engine stalls, fuel flow from the tank
is automatically shut off. When restarting
the engine after fuel flow is shut off, turn
the ignition switch to “ACC” or “LOCK”
once and then start it. The fuel flow from
the tank will also be shut off automatically
when an airbag inflates upon collision or
if the piping is disconnected.
CAUTION
If the vehicle is involved in a colli-
sion and there is a chance that there
may be fuel leakage, never restart the
engine. Ignition of leaked natural gas
may cause death or serious injury.
Manual shutoff valve
This valve is for manually shutting off
fuel from the tank. It is usually left
open. Use this valve to shut off fuel if
you suspect that the fuel is leaking or
after you have been involved in a colli-
sion.
Refer to “If you suspect the fuel is
leaking” in Section 4 for how to operate
the valve.
Operation in foreign countries
If you plan to drive your Toyota in
another country...
First, comply with the vehicle registration
laws.
Second, confirm the availability of the cor-
rect fuel and filling nozzles.
