This section describes some of the basic
features of the Toyota audio system.
Some information may not pertain to your
system.
Your audio system works when the igni-
tion switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” posi-
tion.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the car au-
dio on longer than necessary when
the engine is not running.

from one mode to another.
If the tape or disc is not set, the cassette
player or compact disc player does not

You can turn off the cassette player or
compact disc player by ejecting the cas-

The switches for radio, cassette tape
and compact disc player operation are
displayed on the function switch dis-
play screen when the audio control
mode is selected. Touch them lightly
and directly on the screen.
The selected switch is highlighted in green.
INFORMATION
If the system does not respond to
a touch of a switch, move your
finger away from the screen and
then touch it again.
You cannot operate dimmed
switches.
Wipe off fingerprints on the sur-
face of the disp lay using a glass
cleaning cloth.
(b) Tone and balance
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 different mixes of
treble, mid range, and bass.
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 volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the
volume of another.

(d) Radio Data System
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode pro-
vides you to receive text messages from
radio stations that utilize RDS transmit-
ters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
—only select stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
—display messages from radio stations,
—search for a stronger signal station,
—search for local stations broadcasting
the same network as the vehicle travels,
—receive announcements concerning lo-
cal and national emergencies (even if
RDS function is turned off).
RDS features are available for the use
only on FM stations which broadcast RDS
information. “RDS SRCH” switch
This switch allows you to search all avail-
able RDS stations out of the entire FM
band and sort them by program type
(See following “TYPE” switch for details
on program types).
By touching this button at the FM mode,
RDS is turned on and the radio is
switched to FM type mode. During the
program type search, “RDS SEARCH” will
be shown on the screen. Also at this
time, “FM TYPE” will appear on the
screen to indicate that the station selec-
tor switches are for program type.
After searching for all the available RDS
stations, the radio will activate the pre-
viously used program type. If the pre-
viously used program type is not avail-
able, or if the radio has not yet
performed a program type search, the
radio will activate the first available pro-
gram type that has stations in memory.
The radio will preset the stations of the
current program type into the preset but-
tons.
These are accessible through the “TYPE”
switch. If more than 6 stations are found,
the radio will load the 6 strongest sta-
tions signal of the program type into the
presets.If no RDS stations are found, “No RDS
Stations Found” will be displayed and the
beep sounds. Then the radio will return
to the previous FM mode and frequency.
“Alert”
This type of announcement warns of na-
tional or local emergencies. You will not
be able to turn off alert announcements.
Alert announcements will come on even
if RDS mode is turned off. “Alert” ap-
pears on the screen when an alert an-
nouncement plays. The radio uses TA
volume during these announcements.
When an alert announcement comes on
the tuned radio station or a related net-
work station, you will hear it even if the
volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes
to a related network station for an alert
announcement, it will return to the origi-
nal station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact
disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the
announcement is finished.

“MSG” (Message)
When an RDS radio station transmits a
text message, “MSG” will be displayed.
At this time, touch the “MSG” switch to
view the text message. The message dis-
play will be canceled if any button that
affects the display is pushed. To view the
message again, touch the “MSG” switch
again. After the entire message has been
displayed, the message will disappear.
The RDS audio system has memory to
store three 64 character messages. To
store a message in memory, touch and
hold the “STORE” switch until you hear
a beep.
If 3 messages are already stored in
memory, the oldest message will be over-
written by the new message.To recall a radio text messages stored in
memory, touch the “RECALL” switch.
Touching the “LATEST MESSAGE” will
display the most recent message.
If no messages have been stored, or if
there are no more messages to be re-
called, “RECALL” switch is dimmed. The
message display will be canceled if you
activate any function that affects the dis-
play.
“TYPE” switch
This switch is used for changing the pro-
gram type (PTY) of RDS stations in all
RDS mode. 8 program types are avail-
able as listed here.
The following program type names are avail-
able.

(e) Traffic announcement
“TRAF” button
This button turns the traffic announce-
ment (TA) feature on and off.
Camry_Navi_U (L/O 0108)
1352002 MY CAMRY NAVI_U (OM33559U)
Pushing this button turns on, RDS if it
was off, and the traffic announcement
feature will come on (“TRAF” will appear
and start blinking). When the radio is
tuned to a traffic station, “TRAF” will stop
blinking.
If the current station is not a traffic sta-
tion, the radio will start a traffic program
search in increasing frequency order. Dur-
ing a traffic program search, “TRAF
SEEK” will display. If no traffic programs
are found, “NOTHING” will display.
If the radio receives a traffic announce-
ment, it will interrupt the cassette player
or compact disc mode (if either one is
on), adjust the volume to Traffic An-
nouncement level, and broadcast the traf-
fic announcement. During a traffic an-
nouncement, “Traffic” will appear on the
screen. After traffic announcement is fin-
ished, it will return to the previous mode
and volume level.
TA volume memory function—The volume
level when receiving the traffic announce-
ment is memorized. When “TA” is received next time, the sys-
tem compares the volume before “TA” is
received and the memorized TA volume
and automatically selects the louder vol-
ume. However, the range of volume
memory is limited: if the volume received
previously is less than the minimum, this
volume will be used.
You can adjust the volume independently
from the memorized TA volume range
while receiving a TA station.
Traffic announcement can be canceled by
turning RDS off, or pressing the “TRAF”
button again.
