This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audio systems. Some
information may not pertain to your sys-
tem.
Your audio system works when the ignition
key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audio system
on and off.
Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE”, “DISC” or
“LOAD” to turn on that function without
pushing “PWR·VOL”. To turn on the cas-
sette or compact disc player, a cassette
or compact disc must be loaded in the
player.
You can turn on each player by inserting
a cassette tape or compact disc.
You can turn off each player by ejecting
the cassette tape or compact disc. If the
audio system was previously off, then the
entire audio system will be turned off
when you eject the cassette tape or com-
pact disc. If another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
Push “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE”, “DISC” or

mends the use of Toyota genuine wireless
headphone.

while using headphones. Doing so
may cause an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume
to emphasize the impact of sound
effects. If you adjust the volume
assuming that the conversations
represent the maximum volume lev-
el that the DVD will play, you may
be startled by louder sound effects
or when you change to a different
audio source. Be sure to adjust the
volume with this in mind.
Make sure the volume is not in-
creased, before you turn on the
headphone.

For automatic operation of the air condi-
tioning, press the “AUTO” button. An indi-
cator light will illuminate to show that the
automatic operation mode has been se-
lected.
In the automatic operation mode, the air
conditioning selects the most suitable fan
speed and air flow, on−off of the air condi-
tioning and air intake according to the
temperature.
When you press the “AUTO” button with

sage will appear on the display and the

changed to RECIRCULATE.
You may use manual controls if you want

feature can be disabled by doing the fol-
lowing:
Turn the ignition switch to “ACC” or
“LOCK”. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position while pressing the “AUTO”
and “OFF” buttons at the same time.
When the automatic operation of the air
intake mode is disabled, it may affect the
cooling performance. You can set the de-
fault mode by the following:

“LOCK”. Turn the ignition switch to the
“ON” position while pressing the wind-
shield air flow button and “OFF” button at

mainly from the windshield vents and fan
speed may increase in order to clean up
the front view.
Pressing the button once again returns the
air flow mode to the last one used.
When this button is pressed, air intake
selector mode changes to FRESH auto-
matically to clean up the front view quick-
ly. It is not possible to return to RECIR-
CULATE in this mode.

Press the button to select the air source.1. RECIRCULATE— Recirculates the air in-
side the vehicle.
2. FRESH— Draws outside air into the
system.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield,
the air intake mode may change automati-
cally to FRESH depending on the condi-
tion of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient tempera-
ture is low, the air intake mode may
change automatically to FRESH. This is
not a malfunction. When the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position, the air intake mode is al-
ways set to FRESH even if the previous
mode was RECIRCULATE.

To turn on the air conditioning, press the
“A/C” button. The “A/C” button indicator
will come on. To turn the air conditioning
off, press the button again.
If the “A/C” button indicator flashes, there
is a problem in the air conditioning system
and the air conditioning automatically
shuts off. If this happens, take your ve-
hicle to a Toyota dealer for service.
