NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system op-
erations:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
Do not put anything other than an
appropriate disc into the CD
changer.
The use of a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio system which you are listening
to. However, this does not indicate
a malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with your
radio — it is just the normal result of condi-
tions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal will be.
In addition, reception conditions change
constantly as your vehicle moves.
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 25 miles
(40 km). 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 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.

Correct Wrong
Handle discs carefully, especially
when you are inserting them. Hold
them on the edge and do not bend the-
m. Avoid getting fingerprints on them,
particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
player to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc
up to the light.)
Remove discs from the players when
you are not using them. Store them in
their plastic cases away from moisture,
heat, and direct sunlight.
6U5B98X
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint−
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
ter to the edge of the disc (not in circles).
Dry it with another soft, lint− free cloth. Do
not use a conventional record cleaner or
anti−static device.

The order changes depending on the
PC and MP3/WMA encoding software
you use. CDR and CDRW discs
CD−R/CD−RW discs that have not
been subject to the “finalizing process”
(a process that allows discs to be
played on a conventional CD player)
cannot be played.
It may not be possible to play CD
−
R/CD−RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
It may not be possible to play discs re-
corded on a personal computer de-
pending on the application settings and
the environment. Record with the cor-
rect format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged discs.
If you insert a CD−RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional
CD or CD− R disc.
Recordings on CD −R/CD−RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.

ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM
192
The advanced parking guidance sys-
tem helps back up parking by display-
ing a rearview image in order to pro-
vide a reference for back up
maneuvering, as well as automatically
controlling the steering wheel when
backing into a target parking position
set on the screen. The system will not
automatically back up or regulate
speed.
The advanced parking guidance system is
not an automatic parking system. It is a
system to assist back up parking.
As the system only assists with parking in
a set target parking position, there are
times when the system will be unable to
render this assistance, depending on fac-
tors such as road surface or vehicle condi-
tion, or the distance to the set target park-
ing position.
Depending on the characteristics of the
camera lens, the distance to or position of
people or obstacles shown on the screen
may differ slightly from actual conditions.
SELECTING A LANGUAGE
See “  Selecting a language” on page 237
for the procedure to select a language.
Once you select a language, the advanced
parking guidance system will indicate that
language until you select another lan-
guage.CAUTION
Never depend on the advanced
parking guidance 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.
Back up slowly, using the brake
pedal to control the vehicle’s
speed.
If you seem likely to hit nearby ve-
hicles, obstacles or people, de-
press the brake pedal to stop the
vehicle, and then disable the sys-
tem by touching on the
screen.
Use the system for flat spaces.
As the steering wheel moves auto-
matically in the parallel parking as-
sist mode and parking assist
mode, be aware of the following
points:
Keep clothing such as neckties,
scarves and long sleeves away
from the steering wheel, as they
may become entangled. Also,
keep children away from the
steering wheel.
If you have long fingernails, be
careful not to injure yourself
when the steering wheel moves.

If there is a problem, stop the ve-
hicle and disable the system by
touching on the screen.
Be sure to check that the vehicle
can actually park in the target
space before beginning operation.
Do not use the system in the follow-
ing conditions:
Outside of parking areas
In unprepared parking area such
as gravel or sand
In parking areas that are crooked
or have level variations
On slippery or icy roads, or in
snow
If the asphalt is melted due to
harsh sunlight
If there are obstacles in the tar-
get parking position (inside the
green frame), or obstacles be-
tween the vehicle and the park-
ing space
If there are a large number of ve-
hicles or pedestrians passing
In areas unsuitable for parking
(overly small parking space, cliff
etc.)
If the image is hard to see due to
dirt, direct sunlight, shadow or
snow on the camera lens
If you are using tire chains or
emergency tire(s)
Do not use tires other than those
installed by the manufacturer, as
the system may not function cor-
rectly. Furthermore, if you change
the tires, there may be errors in the
positions of the lines and frames
displayed on the screen. If you
wish to change your ti res, see your
Toyota dealer .
In the following conditions, as-
sisted parking in the set parking
position may not be possible:
The tires are extremely worn, or
the tire inflation pressure is low
You are carrying an extremely
heavy load
There is a load in one side of the
vehicle only, causing the vehicle
to lean
Tires have received a strong im-
pact, such as bumping against a
curb, resulting in improper
wheel alignment
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, 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.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud ad-
here 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.
If you scrape the camera cover, or
scrub it with a hard brush or an
abrasive agent, you may scratch
the cover, leading to poor picture
quality.

The advanced parking guidance
system camera
The advanced parking guidance system
camera is located on the back door as
shown in the illustration.
The camera uses a special lens. The dis-
tance of the image that appears on the
screen differs from the actual distance.
In the following cases, it may become diffi-
cult to see the images on the screen, even
when the system is functioning.
In the dark (for example, at night)
When the
temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low
When water droplets are adhering to
the camera, or when humidity is high
(for example, when it rains)
When foreign matter (for example,
snow or mud) adheres to the camera
lens
When the camera has scratches or dirt
on it
When the sun or the beam of head-
lights is shining directly into the camera
lens
If a bright light (for example, sunlight re-
flected off the vehicle body) is picked up by
the camera, the smear effect
∗, peculiar to
the CCD camera, may occur.
∗: Smear effect—A phenomenon that oc-
curs when a bright light (for example, sun-
light reflected off the vehicle body) is
picked up by the camera; when trans-
mitted by the camera, the light source ap-
pears to have a vertical streak above and
below it.
If you install the antenna of a wireless de-
vice close to the camera, the screen image
may be affected by the electromagnetic
waves, and the system may not function
correctly. Install an antenna away from the
camera.
The method for adjusting the picture quali-
ty of the advanced parking guidance sys-
tem is the same as that for the navigation
screen.

CAUTION
When backing up, be sure to check
your surroundings and behind the
vehicle for safety, and back up
slowly, depressing the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed.
If a collision seems likely, depress
the brake pedal to stop the vehicle,
then disable the system by touch-
ing on the screen.
7. Once the vehicle is mostly within
the target parking position, voice guid-
ance will give a message, and parallel
parking assist mode will finish.
For safety, voice guidance is given slightly
before the target parking position. Further-
more, at that point system control will fin-
ish, so grip the steering wheel firmly, and
finish parking in the desired position, using
the brake to control the vehicle’s speed.
Check in front and behind the vehicle visu-
ally and check with the mirrors while back-
ing up.
