Car audio system operating hints
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system operations:
 Be careful not to spill beverages over the audio
system.
 Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or
compact disc into the cassette tape slot or compact
disc slot.
 The use of a cellular phone inside or near the vehicle
may cause a noise from the speakers of the audio
system 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 problems that probably do
not indicate a problem with your radio:

Lexus approved “Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” or equivalent to
satisfy the following grade and viscosity.
Oil grade: API grade SL “Energy −Conserving” or ILSAC
multigrade engine oil
Recommended viscosity:  SAE 5W −30
62Z002
Outside temperature
SAE 5W 30 is the best choice for good fuel economy and
good starting in cold weather.
If SAE 5W 30 is not available, SAE 10W 30 may be used.
However, it  should be replaced with SAE 5W 30 at the next
oil change.

The top portion of the label shows the oil quality by API
(American Petroleum Institut e) designation such as SL.
The center portion of the label shows the SAE viscosity
grade such as SAE 5W −30.  “Energy− Conserving”, shown
in the lower portion, indicates that the oil has fuel −saving
capabilities.
 The ILSAC (International L ubricant Standardization and
