2006 TOYOTA SOLARA audio

i2006 SOLARA Navigation from Nov. ’04 Prod. (OM33668U)
Introduction
Thank you for your purchase of the Navigation System. Please read this manual\
carefully to ensure proper use. Keep this manual
in your vehicle at all times.
The Navigation System is one of the most technologically advanced vehicle a\
ccessories ever developed. The system receives satellite signals
from the Global Positioning System (GPS) operated by the U.S. Department of Def\
ense. Using these signals and other vehicle sensors, the
system indicates your present position and assists in locating a desired desti\
nation.
The navigation system is designed to select efficient routes from your present starting location to your destination. \
The syst em is designed
to direct you to a destination that is unfamiliar to you in an efficient manner. The system uses the maps of DENSO. The calcu lated routes
may not be the shortest nor the least traffic congested. Your own personal local knowledge or “short cut” may at times be faster than the calcu-
lated routes.
The navigation system’s database includes about 75 Point of Interest categories to allow you to \
easily select destinations such as restaurants
and banks. If a destination is not in the database, you can enter the stre\
et address or a major intersection close to it and the system will guide
you there. The system will provide both a visual map and audio instruct\
ions. The audio instructions will announce the distanc e remaining
and the direction to turn in approaching a fork or intersection. These voi\
ce instructions will help you keep your eyes on the road and are timed
to provide enough time to allow you to maneuver, change lanes or slow down.
Please be aware that all current vehicle navigation systems have certain limitatio\
ns that may affect their ability to perform properly.
The accuracy of the vehicle’s position depends on the satellite condition, road configuration, vehicle condition or other \
circumstan-
ces. For more information on the limitations of the system, refer to pages \
10 through 12.

(b) Tone and balance
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 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 lev-
els is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a ste-
reo recording or broadcast, changing the
right/left balance will increase the volume of
one group of sounds while decreasing the vol-
ume of another.
Touching the “SOUND” switch displayed
on the screen at the audio control mode
will display the sound control mode. Ad-
just the tone and balance as follows.
To adjust the tone, touch the “+” or “”
switch on the screen. To adjust the bal-
ance between the front and rear speakers,
touch the “FRONT” or “REAR” switch on
the screen, and to adjust the balance be-
tween the left and right, touch the “L” or
“R” switch on the screen.
“BASS”: Adjusts low −pitched tones.
“MID”: Adjusts mid− pitched tones.
“TREB”: Adjusts high− pitched tones.
As the yellow display goes up, each tone is
more emphasized. (c) Sound adjusting function
(convertible with 7 speakers)
The audio system automatically adjusts the
sound to the suitable tone according to the
convertible top condition.
When the tone level is adjusted, audio will be
disrupted momentarily.

Data Systems
(RDS). RDS mode allows you
to receive text messages from radio stations
that utilize RDS transmitters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
— only select stations of a particular program
type,
— display messages from radio stations,
— search for a stronger signal station.
RDS features are available for use only on FM
stations which broadcast RDS information.
