21X553
In the “TAPE” or “CD” mode, the applicable functions are
shown in the lowest part of the display. Push the switch
just below to turn on each function.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid −range, 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.
22X612
Each time you push the “AUDIOTUNE” knob, the display
changes as in the following. To adjust the tone and
balance or turn on or off the automatic sound levelizer,
turn the knob.
BAS: Adjusts low− pitched tones.
MID: Adjusts mid− pitched tones.
TRE: Adjusts high− pitched tones.
FAD: Adjusts the sound balance between the front and rear
speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.
ASL: Turns on or off the automatic sound levelizer.
Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL): When the audio sound
becomes difficult to be heard due to road noise, wind noise,
etc. during driving, the system adjusts to the optimum volume
and tone quality according to the noise level. While the
Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL) is on, “ASL” appears on the
display.

AUDIO
222(c) Your power antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio is on, and
retracts
when the radio mode is off. However, even if you turn
off the radio when the radio on the rear seat audio system is on,
the antenna does not retract.
21X509
To adjust the height of the antenna manually, push the
switch at either side, this may be performed during
antenna extension. The maximum extension length is 850
mm (33.5 in.).
Every time you turn the radio on, the antenna will extend to its
previous position.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with a clean dry cloth.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is
close enough to get injured.
NOTICE
 Retract the antenna when entering or passing
through low structures, such as a garage or an
automatic car wash. Failure to do so may damage the
antenna.
 The antenna mast has to be extended higher than 100
mm (3.94 in.) length when the audio is on. Extend the
antenna mast when the radio signal is weak.
 Putting a film (especially a conductive or metallic
film) on the righthand rear quarter window may
affect the reception of radio or mobile telephone. For
the installation of the film, consult with your Lexus
dealer.
