ªSTARTºÐStarter motor on. The key
will return to the ªONº position when
released.
For starting tips, see Section 3.
ªONºÐEngine on and all accessories
on.
This is the normal driving position.
ªACCºÐAccessories such as the radio
operate, but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the ªACCº or
ªLOCKº position and open the driver's
door, a buzzer will remind you to remove
the key.

wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position. You must push in the key to turn the key
from ªACCº to the ªLOCKº position. On
vehicles with an automatic transmission,
the selector lever must be in the ªPº posi-
tion before pushing the key.
When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the ªLOCKº position. To
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.
CAUTION
For manual transmission:
Never remove the key when the ve-
hicle is moving, as this will lock the
steering wheel and result in loss of
steering control.

Clutch start cancel switch
To crank the engine without depressing
the clutch pedal, push the switch with
the ignition on.
The switch stays on as long as the igni-
tion is on. And it will automatically turn off
when the ignition is off. An indicator light
will illuminate to indicate the system is
operating.
This switch cancels the clutch start sys-
tem, which is designed to keep the starter
motor from operating if the clutch pedal is
not depressed all the way down.
The switch allows the vehicle to be driven
out of difficult situations by cranking the
engine with the clutch engaged. Never use the switch for normal engine
starting. Be sure to follow the starting
procedure instructed in ªHow to start the
engineº in Section 3.

Type 4: AM´FM ETR radio/cassette player/
compact disc auto changer
Type 5: Compact disc player
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.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push ªPWR/VOLº or ªPWR´VOLº to turn
the audio system on and off.
Push ªAMº, ªFM1´2º, ªTAPEº, ªCDº or
ªAUXº to turn on that function without
pushing ªPWR/VOLº or ªPWR´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 another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push ªAMº, ªFM1´2º, ªTAPEº, ªCDº or
ªAUXº if the system is already on but you
want to switch from one function to anoth-
er. 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 remove the antenna, carefully turn it
counterclockwise.
To lower the power antenna, turn off the
audio system by pushing ªPWR/VOLº or
ªPWR´VOLº, or turn the ignition key to
ªLOCKº.
