To operate the sub woofer, push the
sub woofer onoff switch.
To stop it, push the switch again.
NOTICE
To ensure correct audio/video system
operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
 Do not put anything other than a
compact disc into the slot.
 The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio 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 prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a prob-
lem 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 transmit-
ter. They are often accompanied by distor-
tion.
Multi
−path—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 oth-
er out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.

The order changes depending on the
PC and MP3/WMA encoding software
you use. CDR and CDRW discs
CD−
R/CD− RW discs that have not been
subject to the “finalizing process” (a
process that allows them to be played
back on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played back.
It may not be possible to play back
CD− R/CD− RW discs recorded on a mu-
sic CD recorder or a personal comput-
er because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of this
unit.
Playback of discs recorded on a per-
sonal computer may not be possible
depending on the application settings
and the environment. Record with the
correct format. (For details, contact the
manufacturer of the applications.)
Playback of CD −R/CD− RW discs may
become impossible in case of direct
exposure to sunlight, high tempera-
tures, or the storage conditions in the
vehicle.
Titles and other text information re-
corded on a CD −R/CD− RW disc may
not be displayed by the MP3/WMA
player (in the case of audio data (CD −
DA)).
The MP3/WMA player conforms to the
track skip function of the CD −R/CD−
RW disc.
If you insert a CD −RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, load time to play-
back will be longer than for a conven-
tional CD or CD −R disc.
Read the precautions accompanying
the CD −R/CD− RW discs before use.
Recordings on CD −R/CD− RW cannot
be played back using the DDCD
(Double Density CD) system.

CALIBRATING THE COMPASS (circling
calibration)
Sometimes the direction display on the
compass may not change after a turn. To
rectify this, stop the vehicle and do as
follows.1. Push and hold the “SET” button for about 2 seconds. The zone number ap-
pears on the outside temperature dis-
play.
2. Push the “SET” button. “ −−” will start
moving.
TS10010
3. Drive the vehicle in a circle at 8 km/h (5 mph). If there is not enough space
to drive in a circle, drive around the
block.
When the compass display returns to the
outside temperature display, calibration is
complete.
When circling calibration fails, “Er” is dis-
played for 2 seconds and then “COM-
PASS” flashes. It also flashes when cir-
cling calibration is not completed.
If you want to cancel the calibration be-
fore it is complete, push the “SET” button
for about 2 seconds. Perform circling calibration just after
you have purchased your Toyota. And
then always perform circling calibration
after the battery has been removed, re-
placed or disconnected.
Do not perform circling calibration of
the compass in a place where the
earth’s magnetic field is subject to in-
terference by artificial magnetic fields
(underground parking, under a steel
tower, between buildings, roof parking,
near a crossing, near a large vehicle,
etc.).
During calibration, do not operate elec-
tric systems (power windows, etc.) as
they may interfere with the calibration.

The protection circuit may be activated to
cut the power supply if any of the follow-
ing conditions apply:
The engine is started with the power
outlet switch on.
Use of electrical appliances exceeding
the maximum capacity is attempted.
A sound may be heard when the
protection circuit is activated. This is
normal and does not indicate a mal-
function.
Electrical appliances, which consume
power exceeding 100W, have been
used continuously for a long time per-
iod.
The total power usage by all electrical
features (headlights, air conditioning,
etc.) has exceeded the total vehicle
maximum for an extended period of
time.
If the protection circuit is activated and
the power supply is cut, conduct the fol-
lowing procedure:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe area, and then securely apply the parking brake.
2. Check and ensure the following condi- tions: Automatic transmission models: The
selector lever is in the “P” or “N” posi-
tion.
Manual transmission models: The shift
lever is in the neutral position and the
clutch pedal is not depressed.
3. Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is within the
maximum capacity of the power outlet
and the appliance is not broken.
4. Push the power outlet main switch again.
When the cabin temperature is high, open
the windows to cool the temperature
down. Once it reaches the normal temper-
ature, turn the power outlet main switch
on again.
If the power supply is not resumed even
after performing the above procedure,
have the vehicle inspected by a Toyota
dealer.

CAUTION
Avoid inhaling the engine exhaust.
It contains carbon monoxide, which
is a colorless and odorless gas. It
can cause unconsciousness or even
death.
Make sure the exhaust system has
no holes or loose connections. The
system should be checked from
time to time. If you hit something,
or notice a change in the sound of
the exhaust, have the system
checked immediately.
Do not run the engine in a garage
or enclosed area except for the
time needed to drive the vehicle in
or out. The exhaust gases cannot
escape, making this a particularly
dangerous situation.
Do not remain for a long time in a
parked vehicle with the engine run-
ning. If it is unavoidable, however,
do so only in an unconfined area
and adjust the heating or cooling
system to force outside air into the
vehicle.
Keep the back door and back win-
dow closed while driving. An open
or unsealed back door and back
window, may cause exhaust gases
to be drawn into the vehicle.
To allow proper operation of your
vehicle’s ventilation system, keep
the inlet grilles in front of the wind-
shield clear of snow, leaves, or oth-
er obstructions.
If you smell exhaust fumes in the
vehicle, open the windows and
close the back door and back win-
dow to ensure plenty of fresh air
enters the vehicle. If you can smell
exhaust fumes even though there
are no other vehicles in the sur-
rounding area, have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer.
Continued inhalation of exhaust
fumes can lead to death by gas poi-
soning.
FUNCTIONS OF ENGINE OIL
Engine oil has the primary functions of
lubricating and cooling the inside of the
engine, and plays a major role in main-
taining the engine in proper working order.
ENGINE OIL CONSUMPTION
It is normal that an engine should con-
sume some engine oil during normal
engine operation. The causes of oil
consumption in a normal engine are as
follows.
Oil is used to lubricate pistons, piston
rings and cylinders. A thin film of oil
is left on the cylinder wall when a pis-
ton moves downwards in the cylinder.
High negative pressure generated when
the vehicle is decelerating sucks some
of this oil into the combustion chamber.
This oil as well as some part of the oil
film left on the cylinder wall is burned
by the high temperature combustion
gases during the combustion process.
Oil is also used to lubricate the stems
of the intake valves. Some of this oil
is sucked into the combustion chamber
together with the intake air and is
burned along with the fuel. High tem-
perature exhaust gases also burn the
oil used to lubricate the exhaust valve
stems.
Engine exhaust cautionsFacts about engine oil
consumption

2102007 FJ CRUISER from Oct. ’06Prod. (OM35873U)
The amount of engine oil consumed de-
pends on the viscosity of the oil, the
quality of the oil and the conditions the
vehicle is driven under.
More oil is consumed by high−speed driv-
ing and frequent acceleration and decel-
eration.
A new engine consumes more oil, since
its pistons, piston rings and cylinder walls
have not become conditioned.
Oil consumption: Max. 1.0 L per 1000
km (1.1 qt./600 miles, 0.9 Imp. qt./600
miles)
When judging the amount of oil con-
sumption, note that the oil may become
diluted and make it difficult to judge
the true level accurately.
As an example, if a vehicle is used for
repeated short trips, and consumes a nor-
mal amount of oil, the dipstick may not
show any drop in the oil level at all, even
after 1000 km (600 miles) or more. This
is because the oil is gradually becoming
diluted with fuel or moisture, making it
appear that the oil level has not changed.
The diluting ingredients evaporate out
when the vehicle is then driven at high
speeds, as on an expressway, making it
appear that oil is excessively consumed
after driving at high speeds. IMPORTANCE OF ENGINE OIL LEVEL
CHECK
One of the most important points in prop-
er vehicle maintenance is to keep the en-
gine oil at the optimum level so that oil
function will not be impaired. Therefore, it
is essential that the oil level be checked
regularly. Toyota recommends that the oil
level be checked every time you refuel
the vehicle.
NOTICE
Failure to check the oil level regularly
could lead to serious engine trouble
due to insufficient oil.
For detailed information on oil level check,
see “Checking the engine oil level” on
page 292 in Section 7
−2. This brake system has 2 independent hy-
draulic circuits. If either circuit should fail,
the other will still work. However, the ped-
al will be harder to press, and your stop-
ping distance will increase. Also, the
brake system warning light may come on.
CAUTION
Do not drive your vehicle with only a
single brake system. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
BRAKE BOOSTER
The brake booster uses brake fluid pres-
surized by the pump to power
−assist the
brakes. If the brake booster fails during
driving, the brake system warning light
comes on and buzzer sounds continuous-
ly. In this case, the brakes may not work
properly. If they do not work well, depress
the brake pedal firmly. If the brake system
warning light comes on, immediately stop
your vehicle and contact your Toyota deal-
er.
It is not a malfunction that the brake sys-
tem warning light may stay on for 60 sec-
onds after the ignition key is turned to the
“ON” position.
