(f) Operating a DVD disc
NOTE: The playback condition of some
DVD discs may be determined by a DVD
software producer. This DVD changer
plays a disc as the software producer in-
tended. So some functions may not work
properly. Be sure to read the instruction
manual for the DVD disc separately pro-
vided. For the detailed information about
DVD video discs, see “(g) DVD player and
DVD video disc information” on page 231.
Precautions on DVD video disc
When recording with a DVD video, DVD
audio or video CD, audio tracks may not
record in some cases while the menu is
displayed. As audio will not play in this
case, verify that the video tracks are play-
ing and then activate playback.
When playback of a disc is completed:
If an audio CD or MP3/WMA disc is
playing, the first track or file starts.
If a DVD video, DVD audio or video CD
is playing, playback will stop or the
menu screen will be displayed.
The title/chapter number and playback
time display may not appear while playing
back certain DVD video discs.
CAUTION
Conversational speech on some
DVDs is recorded at a low volume to
emphasize the impact of sound ef-
fects. If you adjust the volume as-
suming that the conversations repre-
sent the maximum volume level that
the DVD will play, you may be startled
by louder sound effects or when you
change to a different audio source.
The louder sounds may have a signif-
icant impact on the human body or
pose a driving hazard. Keep this in
mind when you adjust the volume.
This “DVD Hint!” screen appears when
the video screen is first displayed after
the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in
the ACCESSORY or IGNITION ON
mode.
Touch “OK” when you read the message.

DVD video disc glossary
DVD video discs: Digital versatile Disc
that holds video. DVD video discs have
adopted “MPEG2”, one of the world stan-
dards of digital compression technologies.
The picture data is compressed by 1/40 on
average and stored. Variable rate en-
coded technology in which the volume of
data assigned to the picture is changed de-
pending on the picture format has also
been adopted. Audio data is stored using
PCM and Dolby digital, which enables
higher quality of sound. Furthermore, mul-
ti−angle and multi−language features will
also help you enjoy the more advanced
technology of DVD video.

The air conditioning filter is behind the
glove box.
The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be re-
placed if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reduc-
tions in operating efficiency, or if the win-
dows become to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency,
inspect and replace the air conditioning fil-
ter according to the maintenance sched-
ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy
traffic flow, such as inner city or desert
areas, early replacement may be required.
(For scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the “Warranty and Services
Guide/Owner’s Manual Supplement/
Scheduled Maintenance”.)

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
258
The rear view monitor system assists
the driver by displaying an image of the
view behind the vehicle while backing
up. The left and right displayed on the
screen are the same as those of the in-
side rear view mirror.
To display the rear view image on the
screen, place the selector lever in the
“R” position when the “ENGINE START
STOP”switch is in the IGNITION ON
mode.
If you move the selector lever out of the “R”
position, the screen returns to the previous
screen. Operating another function of the
navigation system will display another
screen.
The rear view monitor system is a supple-
ment device intended to assist back up.
When backing up, be sure to check behind
and all around the vehicle visually.
CAUTION
Never depend on the rear view
monitor system entirely when
backing up. Always make sure
your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distance. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Do not use the system when the
backdoor is not completely closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Toyota dealer.
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
