AUDIO/VIDEO SYSTEM
240
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. XM
(if equipped)
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 in-
validate the user’s right to operate the
equipment.

MP3/WMA FILES
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) are audio
compression standards.
The MP3/WMA player can play MP3
and WMA files on CD −ROM, CD−R
and CD −RW discs.
The unit can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level
2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system.
When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add
the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or
.wma).
The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as
MP3 or WMA files. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropri-
ate file extensions.
The MP3/WMA player can play only
the first session using multi −session
compatible CDs.
MP3 player — MP3 files are compat-
ible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2, and Ver. 2.3 formats. The unit
cannot display disc title, track title and
artist name in other formats.
USB memory — MP3 files are com-
patible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver.
1.1, Ver. 2.2, Ver. 2.3 and Ver. 2.4 for-
mats. The unit cannot display track title
and artist name in other formats.
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that
is used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as
track title, artist name.
The emphasis function is available
only when playing MP3/WMA files re-
corded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. Sampling frequency
MP3 files for MP3 player:
MPEG 1 LAYER 3 — 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
MPEG 2 LSF LAYER 3 — 16, 22.05, 24
kHz
MP3 files for USB memory:
MPEG 1 AUDIO LAYER 2, 3 — 32,
44.1, 48 kHz
MPEG 2 AUDIO LAYER 2, 3 — 16,
22.05, 24 kHz
MPEG 2.5 — 8, 11.025, 12 kHz

Ver. 7, 8, 9 CBR — 32, 44.1, 48 kHz
WMA files for USB memory:
Ver. 9 — HIGH PROFILE 32, 44.1, 48
kHz
The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally
improves with higher bit rate-
s. In order to achieve a reasonable lev-
el of sound quality, discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are rec-
ommended.

The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs re-
corder using packet write data transfer
(UDF format). Discs should be re-
corded using “pre −mastering” software
rather than packet− write software.

m3u —
Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3 —
MP3 is an audio compression standard de-
termined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about 1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
WMA —
WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by Micro-
soft . It compresses files into a size small-
er than that of MP3 files. The decoding for-
mats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8, and 9.
AIR CONDITIONING
256
If manual switching of air intake is de-
sired —
Each time you push the air intake control
button, the mode changes in order from
the RECIRCULATED AIR mode to OUT-
SIDE AIR mode, then back to the RECIR-
CULATED AIR mode. Each indicator light
shows which mode is now selected.
1RECIRCULATED AIR mode — If
quick circulation of cooled air is de-
sired, select this mode.
2OUTSIDE AIR mode — The system
will take fresh outside air into the ve-
hicle.
For normal use, it is best to keep the air in-
take control button set to OUTSIDE AIR
mode. If recirculated air is used during
heating, the windows will fog up more easi-
ly.
In the following cases, the RECIRCU-
LATED AIR mode may change to the OUT-
SIDE AIR mode automatically to prevent
interior fog.
When the outside temperature be-
comes lower than 41
F (5
C).
When the air conditioning compressor
malfunctions.
When the air conditioning cooler refrig-
erant decreases. If manual on off of the air conditioning
is desired —
Touch
“A/C” to turn the air conditioning on
and touch it again to turn the air condition-
ing off.
The air conditioning does not work if the
outside temperature is lowered down to
around 32
F (0
C).
If the system is used for ventilation, heat-
ing in dry weather or removing frost or ex-
terior fog on the windshield, turn the air
conditioning off once it is no longer re-
quired. This will improve fuel economy.
The air conditioning can be used for year −
round automatic temperature control in-
cluding cooling and dehumidifying opera-
tion.

NOTICE
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.
Do not allow organic solvent, car
wax, window cleaner or glass coat
to adhere to the camera. If this hap-
pens, wipe it off as soon as pos-
sible.
When replacing the tires, please
consult your Toyota dealer. If you
replace the tires, the area dis-
played on the screen may change.
When washing the vehicle, do not
apply intensive bursts of water to
the camera or camera area. Doing
so may result in the camera mal-
functioning.
INFORMATION
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If wa-
ter droplets, snow, or mud adhere to
the lens, rinse with water and wipe
with a soft cloth. If the lens is ex-
tremely dirty, wash it with a mild
cleanser and rinse.
Area displayed on screen
Image is displayed approximately level
on screen.

The area detected by the camera is limi-
ted. The camera does not detect objects
which are close to either corner of the
bumper or under the bumper.
APPENDIX
340
This navigation system calculates the
current vehicle position using satellite
signals, various vehicle signals, map
data, etc. However, the accurate posi-
tion may not be shown depending on
the satellite condition, road configura-
tion, vehicle condition or other circum-
stances.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment of Defense provides an accurate cur-
rent vehicle position, normally using 4 or
more satellites, and in some case 3 satel-
lites. The GPS system has a certain level
of inaccuracy. While the navigation sys-
tem will compensate for this most of the
time, occasional positioning errors of up to
300 feet (100 m) can and should be expec-
ted. Generally, position errors will be cor-
rected within a few seconds.
When your vehicle is receiving signals
from the satellites, the “GPS” mark ap-
pears at the top left of the screen.
The GPS signal may be physically ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle
position on the map display. Tunnels, tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects on the instrument panel may ob-
struct the GPS signals.
The GPS satellites may not send signals
due to repairs or improvements being
made to them.
Even when the navigation system is re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle
position may not be shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
NOTICE
The installation of window tinting
may obstruct the GPS signals. Most
window tinting contains some metal-
lic content that will interfere with GPS
signal reception of the antenna in the
instrument panel. We advise against
the use of window tinting on vehicles
equipped with navigation systems.
