Cassette player This switch has the following features— To skip to a different track in either direc- tion: Quickly push and release the “(cid:1)” or “(cid:2)” side of the switch. “FF 1” or “REW 1” will appear on the display.

Next, push either side of the track switch until the track you want to listen to is set. If you push the switch ten times, the skip function will turn off. (You can skip up to nine tracks at a time.) When counting the number of the tracks you want to rewind, remember to count the current track as well. For example, if you want to rewind to a song that is two tracks before the song you are listening to, push the “(cid:2)” side of the switch three times.

Rear seat audio system— The rear seat audio system is designed for the rear seat passengers to enjoy the audio sound separately between the front seats and rear seats. The rear seat audio system can be turned on with the rear audio system controller even is off. When the front audio is turned off, the rear audio system will be turned off simul- taneously. The rear passengers can enjoy all the modes (AM and FM radio, cassette tape player, compact disc player, compact disc player with changer and DVD player) with the rear seat audio system when a cas- sette tape and discs are loaded in the front audio system. When the same mode is selected on the front and rear audio systems at the same time, the system can be operated on the front audio system. If the radio mode is selected on the front and rear audio systems at the same time, AM and FM modes cannot be changed on the rear seat audio system. You can enjoy the rear seat audio system with a special headphone. For details, re- fer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

The wireless headphone can be used with- in a radius of approximately 7 m (23 ft.) from the rear seat audio system. If the signal becomes weak, the headphone will mute. You can purchase a wireless headphone at a Toyota dealer.

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 conditions 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. conditions change constantly as your vehicle moves.

In addition,

signals are

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 40 km (25
miles). 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 reflective, making it possible for two signals to reach your antenna at the same time. If this happens, the signals will cancel each oth- er 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. the FM signal you Station swapping—If are interrupted or weak- is ened, and there is another strong station nearby on the FM band, your radio may tune in the second station until the origi- nal signal can be picked up again.

they can

AM Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by the upper atmosphere—especially at night. These reflected signals can interfere with those received directly from the radio sta- tion, causing the radio station to sound alternately strong and weak. Station interference—When a reflected sig- nal and a signal received directly from a radio station are very nearly the same frequency, 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.

“AUTO” button For automatic operation of the air condi- tioning, push the “AUTO” button. An indi- cator light will illuminate to show that the automatic operation mode has been se- lected. In the automatic operation mode, the air conditioning selects the most suitable fan speed, air flow, air intake and on–off of the air conditioning according to the tem- perature. When you push the “AUTO” button with the air intake mode at FRESH, internal circulation may be applied for maximum cooling. You may use manual controls if you want to select your own settings. To turn off the automatic operation, push the “OFF” button. Fan speed selector Select the mode button you desire to ad- just the fan speed and push it.

Operating tips (cid:1) To cool off your Toyota after

it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly.

(cid:1) Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example).

(cid:1) On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield.

(cid:1) Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate through- out the vehicle.

(cid:1) On cold days, set the fan speed to high the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows.

to help clear

(cid:1) When driving on dusty roads, close all windows. If dust thrown up by the ve- hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed selector to any setting.
