2005 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER lock

137 If manual onoff of the air conditioning is
desired
Push the “A/C” switch to turn the air condi-
tioning on and push it again to turn the air
conditioning off. If you turn off the air condi-
tioning manually, the EXHAUST GAS AUTO-
MATIC mode will be cancelled.
If the outside temperature is lowered down to
around 0C (32F), the air conditioning will
turn off automatically. At this time, the indica-
tor on the A/C button is off and the EXHAUST
GAS AUTOMATIC indicator light remains on.
However, the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC
mode does not operate. When the air condi-
tioning turns on as with the raised tempera-
ture, the EXHAUST GAS AUTOMATIC mode
resumes.
If the system is used for ventilation, heating in
dry weather or removing frost or exterior fog
on the windshield, turn the air conditioning off
once it is no longer required. This will improve
fuel economy. The air conditioning can be
used for year−round automatic temperature
control including cooling and dehumidifying
operation.
(b) Windshield defogging and de-
frosting
To remove interior fog on the windshield
Push the “FRONT WINDSHIELD” button.
To remove frost or exterior fog on the
windshield
1. Push the upper side of the temperature
control button until maximum figure appears
on the temperature display.
2. Push the “FRONT WINDSHIELD” but-
ton.
3. Push the “HI” of the air flow control switch
to obtain a maximum air flow.
4. Leave the air conditioning on−off button
off.
For further information for removing frost and
fog, see “Lower vent” on page 139.When the “FRONT WINDSHIELD” button is
pushed while operating in automatic mode,
the air conditioning is set to operate and the
OUTSIDE AIR mode is set.
Push the “A/C” switch for dehumidified heat-
ing or cooling. This setting clears the front
view more quickly.
If you push the “FRONT WINDSHIELD” but-
ton once again while in the FRONT WIND-
SHIELD mode, the mode then returns to the
last mode used.
CAUTION
Do not use the “FRONT WINDSHIELD”
button during cooled air operation in ex-
tremely humid weather. The difference
between the temperature of the outside
air and that of the windshield could
cause the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up blocking your vision.

If you set “REW 1”, the player will rewind
to the beginning of the current program.
When counting the number of programs
you want to rewind, remember to count the
current program as well. For example, if
you want to rewind to a song that is two be-
fore the song you are listening to, push this
button until “REW 3” appears on the dis-
play.
When the beginning of the tape is reached,
the player automatically resumes normal
play.
There must be at least 5 seconds of blank
space between programs for this feature to
work correctly.
“RPT”, “SKIP” or “Automatic program
selection” features: These features may
not work well with some spoken word, live or
classical recordings.
DVD player operation
The DVD player can play audio CDs, DVD
video discs and video CDs.
For appropriate discs for this paper, see “Car
audio/video system operating hints” on page
175.
For safety reasons, you can enjoy DVD video
discs and video CDs only when the vehicle is
completely stopped with the ignition switch in
the “ACC” or “ON” position and the parking
brake applied. While you are driving, you can
hear audio alone even in the DVD video or
video CD mode.
The DVD player can play the discs labeled as
shown below.
(a) Inserting discs

4. Put a disc on the tray with its label face
up and push the tray back into the maga-
zine.If the label faces down, the disc cannot be
played. In this case, “DISC CHECK” and disc
number appears on the display.
If a disc which is not playable is inserted,
“DISC CHECK” will also appear on the
screen. For appropriate discs for this player,
see “Car audio/video system operating hints”
on page 175.

5. Insert the magazine into the player as
indicated by the arrow ahead on the maga-
zine, close the door and console box.When the magazine is set completely, the
system will be in a “Load” cycle for approxi-
mately 30 seconds while the system
searches for discs in the magazine. Upon
completion of this cycle, the DVD player unit
will be ready to play. If the “DISC” button is
pushed during the “Load” cycle, “LOAD” ap-
pears on the display until the system has
completed the load cycle, after which the sys-
tem will begin normal play.
CAUTION
To reduce the chance of injury in case of
an accident or a sudden stop, always
keep the console box closed while driv-
ing.

176 Radio reception
Usually, the problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your ra-
dio − 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 sig-
nals. And of course, radio signals have a lim-
ited range, and the farther you are from a sta-
tion, 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:
FM
Fading and drifting stations − Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km (25
miles). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifting, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multipath − FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for two signals to reach your an-
tenna at the same time. If this happens, the
signals will cancel each other out, causing a
momentary flutter or loss of reception.Static and fluttering − These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or oth-
er large objects. Increasing the bass level
may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping − If the FM signal you are
listening to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another strong station nearby on the
FM band, your radio may tune in the second
station until the original 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 station,
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 broadcast.
Static − AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high ten-
sion power lines, lightening, or electrical mo-
tors. This results in static.Caring for your cassette player and tapes
For high performance from your cassette
player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can de-
crease sound quality and tangle your cas-
sette tapes. The easiest way to clean
them is by using a cleaning tape. (A wet
type is recommended.)
Use high−quality cassettes:
Low−quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound, in-
consistent playing speed, and constant
auto−reversing. They can also get stuck
or tangled in the cassette player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been dam-
aged or tangled or if its label is peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player if you
are not listening to it, especially if it is hot
outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out of
direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total playing
time longer than 100 minutes (50 minutes
per side). The tape used in these cas-
settes is thin and could get stuck or
tangled in the cassette player.
