gramming in the vehicle. Additional activa-
tion and service subscription fees apply

All fees and programming are the respon-
sibility of the XM Satellite Radio and are
subject to change.
Satellite t uner technology notice:
Toyota’s satellite radio t uners are awarded
Type Approval Certificates from XM  Sat-
ellite Radio Inc. as proof of compatibility
with the services offered by the XM 
Satellite Radio.
Displaying the radio ID
Each XM  tuner is identified with a unique
radio ID. You will need the radio ID when
activating XM  service or when reporting
a problem.
If you select the “CH 000” using the
“TUNE·FILE” knob, the ID code of 8 al-
phanumeric characters appears. If you se-
lect another channel, display of the ID
code is canceled. The channel (000) alter-
nates the display between the radio ID
and the specific radio ID code.
∗: Use of satellite radio requires XM 
tuner and service. Contact your Toyota
dealer for details. TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
SRS
Type 1 and 2
−1 audio systems utilize SRS
FOCUS  and SRS TruBass  audio
enhancement technologies, under license
from SRS Labs, Inc., in all modes except
AM radio mode.
FOCUS , TruB as s , SRS andsymbols are trade-
marks of SRS Labs, Inc.
FOCUS and TruBass technologies are incorporated under
license from SRS Labs, Inc.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (type 2 −2) and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music
and vocal programs usually sound better
with different mixes of treble, midrange
and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of other.
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has a mast type antenna.
To remove the antenna, carefully turn it
counterclockwise.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is removed before driv-
ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash.
