satellite receiver and antenna (or equiva-
lents) must be purchased and installed. A
subscription to the XM satellite radio ser-
vice is also necessary.
How to subscribe to an XM satellite
radio
An XM satellite radio is a tuner designed
exclusively to receive broadcasts provided
under a separate subscription. Availability

How to subscribe:
You must enter into a separate service
agreement with the XM radio in order to
receive satellite broadcast programming in
the vehicle. Additional activation and ser-
vice subscription fees apply that are not
included in the purchase price of the ve-
hicle and optional digital satellite tuner.
For complete information on subscription
rates and terms, or to subscribe to the
XM radio, visit XM on the web at
www.xmradio.com
or call an XM’s Listener
Care at (800) 852 −9696. The XM radio is
solely responsible for the quality, availabil-
ity and content of the satellite radio ser-
vices provided, which are subject to the
terms and conditions of the XM radio cus-
tomer service agreement.
Customers should have their radio ID
ready; the radio ID can be found by tun-
ing to “channel 000” on the radio. For
details, see “Displaying the radio ID” be-
low.
All fees and programming are the respon-
sibility of the XM satellite radio and are
subject to change. Satellite tuner technology notice:
Toyota’s satellite radio tuners are awarded
Type Approval Certificates from XM Satel-
lite Radio Inc. on “March 10, 2003” and
“April 15, 2003” as proof of compatibility
with the services offered by the XM satel-
lite radio.
Displaying the radio ID
Each XM tuner is identified with a unique
radio ID. You will need the radio ID when
activating XM service or when reporting a
problem.
If you select the “CH 000” using the
“AUDIO
−TUNE” knob, the ID code of 8
alphanumeric characters appears. If you
select another channel, display of the ID
code is canceled. The channel (000) alter-
nates the display between the radio ID
and the specific radio ID code.
*: Use of satellite radio requires XM tuner
and service. Contact your Toyota dealer
for details. TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
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 differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange, and bass.
Balance
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 vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.

YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Lowering the 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. To lower a power anten-
na, push the “” (down) switch. Also, the
antenna automatically goes down when the
radio mode is switched off to turn on the
cassette tape player or compact disc play-
er, turning off the audio system by push-
ing “PWR·VOL” or turning the ignition key
to “LOCK” position.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 ex-
tended 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 window tint (especially,
conductive or meta llic type) on the
right hand rear quarter window may
affect the reception of radio or mo-
bile telephone. For the installation
of the window tint, consult with
your Toyota dealer.
Down Up
Adjusting the power antenna
To adjust the antenna height, push the
switch at either side, this may also 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 posi-
tion.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with
a clean dry cloth.

ber.
