have been activated, the seat belt retrac-
tors remain locked.

the front seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, airbag sensor or surround-

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 ªACCº or ªONº position.

tem on and off.

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
CoupeÐ
Your vehicle has a glass antenna (built±in
on the rear window glass).
NOTICE
Attaching the film (especially conduc-
tive or metallic type) on the rearglass will noticeably reduce the sensi-tivity of the radio.
ConvertibleÐ
Your vehicle has a mast type power an-
tenna.
To lower a power antenna, turn off the
audio system by pushing ªPWR´VOLº, or
turn the ignition key to ªLOCKº.
The power antenna automatically retracts
when the radio mode is switched off to
turn on the cassette tape player or com-
pact disc player. 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 tapeplayer 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.
On models with the compact disc auto
changer, next disc will be played from
track 1.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Donot insert anything except a compactdisc into the slot.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm
(5 in.) discs only.
