Satellite tuner technology notice:
Toyota’s satellite radio tuners are awarded
Type Approval Certificates from XM
 Sat-
ellite Radio Inc. as proof of compatibility
with the services offered by the XM
 Satel-
lite Radio.
(b) 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” knob, the ID code of 8 alphanu-
meric characters appears. If you select
another channel, display of the ID code is
canceled. The channel(000) alternates the
display between the radio ID and the spe-
cific radio ID code. (c) Listening to satellite radio
XS00315
Push the “AM·SAT” button to choose
either an AM station or an SAT

Besides “AM”, “SAT1”, “SAT2” or “SAT3”
appears on the display.
XS00314
Turn this knob to select the next or pre-
vious channel.
If you turn continuously, you can rapidly
scroll forward or down through the chan-
nels.

AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM

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 in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi−path — FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to reach
your antenna at the same time. If this hap-
pens, the signals will cancel each other
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 weakened,
and there is another strong station nearby
on the FM band, your radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
AM
Fading — AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causing the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
Station interference — When a reflected
signal 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. XM∗
Cargo loaded on the roof luggage carrier,
especially metal objects, may adversely
affect the reception of XM
 Satellite Radio.
Alternation or modifications carried out
without appropriate authorization may
invalidate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.
∗: Use of satellite radio requires XM tuner
and service. Contact your Toyota dealer
for details.
CARING FOR YOUR CD CHANGER,
DVD PLAYER AND DISCS
Your CD changer is intended for use
with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your CD changer and DVD player from
working. On hot days, use the air
conditioning to cool the vehicle interior
before you use the changer and player.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD changer and DVD play-
er skip.
If moisture gets into your CD changer
and DVD player, you may not play even
though they appear to be working. Re-
move the disc from the changer and
player and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD changers and DVD player use an
invisible laser beam which could
cause hazardous radiation exposure
if directed outside the unit. Be sure to
operate the changers and players
correctly.

REAR VIEW MONITOR SYSTEM
252
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 switch is in
the ON position.
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 distances. 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
back door 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,
disassemble 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.
 If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud
adhere to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.
 Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this
happens, wipe it off as soon as
possible.
 Use your own eyes to confirm the
vehicle’s surroundings, as the
displayed image may become faint
or dark, and moving images will be
distorted, or not entirely visible
when the outside temperature is
low. When backing up, be sure to
check behind and all around the
vehicle visually and with mirror
before proceeding.
When replacing the tires, please con-
sult your Toyota dealer. If you replace
the tires, the area displayed on the
screen may change.
