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 CDs
into the cassette tape slot or CD 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:
FM
Fading and drifting stations − Generally, the effective range
of FM is about 40 km (25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which increase with the
distance from the radio transmitter. They are often
accompanied by distortion.
Multipath − FM signals are reflective, making it possible for
two signals to reach your antenna 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 other 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 signal and a signal
received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each other, making it dif ficult
to hear the broadcast.
Static − AM is easily affected by external sources of electrical
noise, such as high tension power lines, lightening, or electrical
motors. This results in static.

STARTING AND DRIVING
256
BEFORE STARTING THE ENGINE
1. Check the area around the vehicle before entering it.
2. Adjust seat position, seatback angle, head restraint height
and steering wheel angle.
3. Adjust the inside and outside rear view mirrors.
4. Lock all doors.
5. Fasten seat belts.
Remember to check that the service reminder indicators
function when turning the key to “ON”, and check the fuel
gauge to see that you have sufficient fuel.

If the tire pressure warning light blinks...
31x609
If the tire pressure warning light blinks when the ignition
switch is turned to the “ON” position, the tire pressure
warning system is not working properly.
The system will be disabled in the following conditions:
(When the condition becomes normal, the system will work
properly.)

If tires not equipped with tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters are used.
 If the ID code on the tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters is not registered.
 If electronic devices or facilities using similar radio wave
frequencies are nearby.
 If a radio set at similar frequencies is in use in the vehicle. 
If a window tint that affects the radio wave signals is
installed.
 If the tire pressure warning select switch is set to a dif ferent
tire setting.
 If there is a lot of snow or ice on the vehicle, in particular
around the wheels or wheel housings.
 If non− genuine Lexus wheels are used.
 If tire chains are used.
 If the spare tire is in a location subject to poor radio wave
signal reception.
 If the tire inflation pressure is 500 kPa (5.1 kgf/cm2
or bar,
73 psi) or higher.
If the tire pressure warning light blinks frequently when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” position, have it checked
by your Lexus dealer.
Even if you use genuine wheels, the tire pressure warning
system may not work properly with some types of tires.
Pushing the tire pressure warning reset switch should not turn
off the tire pressure warning light.

Safety information for the Lexus Link System
Important!: Read this information before using the Lexus
Link System.
EXPOSURE TO RADIO FREQUENCY SIGNALS
The Lexus Link System to be installed in your vehicle is a low
power radio transmitter and receiver. When the ignition is
turned to the “ON” position, it receives and also sends out radio
frequency (RF) signals.
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and
international standards bodies.
