OPERATING HINTS
WA R N I N G
● Use Wi-Fi® devices only when safe and
legal to do so.
● Your audio unit is fitted with Wi-Fi
®
antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni-
zation therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators
should maintain a reasonable distance
between themselves and the Wi-Fi
®
antennas.
The radio waves may affect the opera-
tion of such devices.
● Before using Wi-Fi
® devices, users of
any electrical medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemakers, car-
diac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult the manu-
facturer of the device for information
about its operation under the influence
of radio waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected
effects on the operation of such medical
devices.
INFORMATION
● If a connected device is taken out of the
Wi-Fi® connection area, the connection
will be severed.
● If the vehicle is driven out of the cellular
communication coverage area, connect-
ing to the internet via the Wi-Fi
® Hotspot
will not be possible.
● If a Bluetooth
® device is used while a
device is connected using the Wi-Fi®
Hotspot function, the communication
speed may decrease.
● If the vehicle is near a radio antenna,
radio station or other source of strong
radio waves and electrical noise, com-
munication may be slow or impossible.

REFER TO THE TABLE BELOW TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM
AND TAKE THE SUGGESTED CORRECTIVE ACTION
When problems occur with the SXM tuner, a message will appear on the screen.
Referring to the table below to identify the problem, take the suggested corrective
action.
MessageExplanation
“Check Antenna”
The SXM antenna is not connected. Check whether the SXM anten-
na cable is attached securely. Contact your Toyota dealer for a ssis-
tance.
A short circuit occurs in the antenna or the surrounding antenn a ca-
ble. Contact your Toyota dealer for assistance.
“No Signal”The SXM signal is too weak at the current location. Wait until your
vehicle reaches a locati on with a stronger signal.
“Chan Unavailable”Selected CH is not available condition.
Current receive CH is not available condition.
“Ch Unsubscribed”
The channel you selected is no longer available. Wait for about 2
seconds until the radio returns to the previous channel or “Ch 001”.
If it does not change automatical ly, select another channel.

WA R N I N G
● Do not operate the player’s controls or connect to the Bluetoot h® audio system while driv-
ing.
● Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth
® antennas. People with implantable cardiac pace-
makers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant able cardioverter
defibrillators should maintain a reasonable distance between th emselves and the
Bluetooth
® antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation of such dev ices.
● Before using Bluetooth
® devices, users of any electrical medical device other than
implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization thera py-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manu facturer of the device for
information about its operation under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could
have unexpected effects on the operation of such medical device s.
NOTICE
●Do not leave your portable player in the vehicle. In particular, high temperatures inside
the vehicle may damage the portable player.

6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO/VISUAL SYSTEM
1. OPERATING INFORMATION
Fading and drifting stations: Generally, the
effective range of FM is about 25 miles (40
km). Once outside this range, you may no-
tice fading and drifti ng, which increase with
the distance from the radio transmitter.
They are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi-path: FM signals are reflective, mak-
ing it possible for 2 signals to reach the ve-
hicle’s antenna at the same time. If this
happens, the signals will cancel each other
out, causing a momentar y 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 being
listened to is interrupted or weakened, and
there is another str ong station nearby on
the FM band, the radio may tune in the
second station until the original signal can
be picked up again.
Fading: AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere — especially at
night. These reflected signals can interfere
with those received directly from the radio
station, causing the radio station to sound
alternately strong and weak.
Station interference: When a reflected sig-
nal and a signal received directly from a ra-
dio 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 electrical
motors. This results in static.
NOTICE
● To avoid damage to the audio/visual
system:
• Be careful not to spill beverages over
the audio/visual system.
INFORMATION
● The use of a cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise from
the speakers of the audio/visual system
which you are listening to. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
RADIO
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
the radio — it is just the normal result
of conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or phone wires can inter-
fere with AM signals. And of course, ra-
dio signals have a limited range. The
farther the vehicle is from a station, the
weaker its signal will be. In addition, re-
ception conditions change constantly
as the vehicle moves.
Here, some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with the radio are described.

PHONE

2. SOME BASICS
The hands-free system enables calls
to be made and received without hav-
ing to take your hands off the steering
wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth
®.
Bluetooth® is a wireless data system
that enables cellular phones to be used
without being connected by a cable or
placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the phone
is explained here.
When an Apple CarPlay connection is
established, phone functions will be
performed by Apple CarPlay instead of
the hands-free system.
WA R N I N G
● While driving, do not operate a cellular
phone.
● Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth
®
antennas. People with implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac resynchroni-
zation therapy-pacemakers or
implantable cardioverter defibrillators
should maintain a reasonable distance
between themselves and the Bluetooth
®
antennas. The radio waves may affect
the operation of such devices.
● Before using Bluetooth
® devices, users
of any electrical medical device other
than implantable cardiac pacemakers,
cardiac resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter
defibrillators should consult the manu-
facturer of the device for information
about its operation under the influence
of radio waves. Radio waves could have
unexpected effects on the operation of
such medical devices.
NOTICE
● Do not leave your cellular phone in the
vehicle. In particular, high temperatures
inside the vehicle may damage the cel-
lular phone.
INFORMATION
●This system is not guaranteed to oper-
ate with all Bluetooth® devices.
● If your cellular phone does not support
Bluetooth
®, this system cannot function.
● In the following conditions, the system
may not function:
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the
communication area.
• The cellular phone is not connected.
• The cellular phone has a low battery.
● When using the hands-free system or
Bluetooth
® audio and Wi-Fi® Hotspot
functions at the same time, the following
problems may occur:
• The Bluetooth
® connection may be
cut.
• Noise may be heard on the Bluetooth
®
audio playback.
• A noise may be heard during phone calls.
● Bluetooth
® uses the 2.4 GHz frequency
band. If both a Wi-Fi® connection and
Bluetooth® connection are being used
simultaneously, each connection may be
affected.
● If a Bluetooth
® device is attempting to
connect to the vehicle while another
device is connected as a Bluetooth
®
audio device or connected using the
hands-free system or Wi-Fi® Hotspot
function, the communication speed may
decrease or malfunctions may occur,
such as image distortion or audio skip-
ping. If a Bluetooth
® device is connected
to the system, the interference it may
cause will be reduced. When carrying a
device with its Bluetooth
® connection
enabled, make sure to register it to the
system and connect it or disable its
Bluetooth
® function.
● When a device is connected via Blue-
tooth
®, the Bluetooth® icon on the status
bar will be displayed in blue. ( P. 2 0 )
