LISTENING TO THE XM \b SATELLITE RA-
DIO BROADCAST*
To listen to a satellite radio broadcast in
your vehicle, an additional genuine Toyota
satellite receiver and antenna (or equiva-
lents) must be purchased and installed. A
subscription to the XM \b satellite radio ser-
vice is also necessary.
How to subscribe to an XM \b satellite
radio
An XM \b satellite radio is a tuner designed
exclusively to receive broadcasts provided
under a separate subscription. Availability
is limited to the 48 contiguous states.

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
righthand 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.

Compact Disc Player
There are two repeat features—You can
either replay a disc track or a whole com-
pact disc.
Repeating a track:
Quickly push and release “
” while the
track is playing. “
” will appear on the
display. If you hear a beep, you held the
button too long, and the player will repeat
the whole disc. When the track ends, it
will automatically be replayed. This pro-
cess will be continued until you push the
button again to turn off the repeat feature.
Repeating a disc:
Push and hold “
” until you hear a
beep. “
” will appear on the display.
The player will repeat all the tracks on the
disc you are listening to. When the disc
ends, the player will automatically go back
to the first track on the disc and replay.
This process will be continued until you
push the button again to turn off the re-
peat feature. SAT* (Satellite radio)
Push the “AM·SAT” button to turn on the
radio and select the XM
\b band. “SAT1”,
“SAT2” or “SAT3” will appear on the dis-
play. This system allows you to set eigh-
teen XM \b channels, three for each of the
preset button.

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.
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 weak-
ened, and there is another strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal 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 sta-
tion, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference—When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a
radio station are very nearly the same
frequency, they can interfere with each
other, making it difficult to hear the broad-
cast.
Static—AM is easily affected by external
sources of electrical noise, such as high
tension power lines, lightening, or electri-
cal motors. This results in static.

CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts regu-
larly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle your
cassette tapes. The easiest way to
clean them is by using a cleaning tape.
(A wet type is recommended.)
Use high −quality cassettes.
Low −quality cassette tapes can cause
many problems, including poor sound,
inconsistent playing speed, and
constant auto− reversing. They can also
get stuck or tangled in the cassette
player.
Do not use a cassette if it has been
damaged or tangled or if its label is
peeling off.
Do not leave a cassette in the player
if you are not listening to it, especially
if it is hot outside.
Store cassettes in their cases and out
of direct sunlight.
Avoid using cassettes with a total play-
ing time longer than 100 minutes (50
minutes per side). The tape used in
these cassettes is thin and could get
stuck or tangled in the cassette player.
