Audio system operating hints

NOTICE

To ensure correct audio system op- erations: z Be careful not

to spill beverages

over the audio system.

z Do not put anything other than a cassette tape or compact disc into the slot.

z 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 FM broadcasts have a range of about 40
km or 25 miles. When driving away from a station you may have to fine−tune your radio and turn up the volume as the sta- tion gets weaker. Because FM uses a line−of−sight signal, tall buildings or hills may sometimes block reception. These are all normal characteristics of FM recep- tion and do not indicate any problem with the radio itself.

CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER AND DISCS D Your compact disc player

is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only. D Extremely high temperatures can keep your compact disc player from working. On hot days, use the air conditioning to cool the vehicle interior before you listen to a disc.

D Bumpy roads or other vibrations may make your compact disc player skip. D If moisture gets into your compact disc player, you may not hear any sound even though your compact disc player appears to be working. Remove the disc from the player and wait until it dries.

CAUTION

Compact disc players use an invisible laser beam which could cause hazard- ous radiation exposure if directed outside the unit. Be sure to operate the player correctly.

D Use only compact discs marked as shown above. The following products may not be playable on your compact disc player. Copy−protected CD CD−R (CD−Recordable) CD−RW (CD−Re−Writable) CD−ROM

D Handle compact discs carefully, espe- cially when you are inserting them. Hold them on the edge and do not bend them. Avoid getting fingerprints on them, particularly on the shiny side. D 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.)

D Remove discs from the compact disc player when you are not listening to them. Store them in their plastic cases away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight.

MP3 FILES D MP3 is short for MPEG Audio Layer 3
and refers to an audio compression technology standard.

D The MP3 player allows playback of MP3 files on CD−ROM, CD−R and CD− RW discs. Disc recordings compatible with level 1
and level 2 of ISO 9660 and with the Romeo and Joliet file system can be played back.

D When naming a MP3 file, add the cor- responding filename extension (.mp3). D The MP3 player plays back files with the file name extension (.mp3) as an MP3 file. To prevent noise and mal- functions, do not use this extension for files other than MP3 files.

D It

is possible to play back multi−ses-

sion compatible recorded discs.

D When playing discs with MP3 files and audio data (CD−DA) such as CD−EX- TRA and MIXED−MODE CD, both types can be played only by switching be- tween MP3 and CD−DA. When playing a disc featuring both CD−DA and MP3 tracks, CD−DA tracks are played first.

D Files are compatible with the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3
formats for display of album (disc title), track (track title) and artist (track art- ist).

D Only when MP3 files of 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz frequencies are played back, the emphasis function is valid. (16, 22.05, 24 kHz sampling frequencies can be played back.)

D The sound quality of MP3 files general- ly becomes better with higher bit rates. This product can play recordings with bit rates from 8 kbps to 320 kbps, but in order to be able to enjoy a certain sound quality, is recommended to use only discs recorded with a bit rate of at

least 128 kbps.

D Playback of discs recorded on a per- sonal computer may not be possible depending on the application settings and the environment. Record with the correct format. (For details, contact the manufacturer of

Using the same encoding methods (such as MP3), the higher the rate, Multi−session— Multi−session is a recording method that allows additional data to be recorded later.

m3u— Playlists created using the “WINAMP” soft- ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3— MP3 is short for MPEG 1 & 2 Audio Layer 3. It is an audio compression standard set by a working group (MPEG) of the ISO (International Standards Organization). MP3 is able to compress audio data to about 1/10 the level of a conventional disc.

CD−DA— CD−DA is an abbreviation of Compact Disc Digital Audio. It refers to the uncom- pressed format of regular CDs. ID3 Tag— This is a method of embedding track−re- lated information in a MP3 file. This em- bedded information can include the track title, the artist’s name, the album title, the music genre, the year of production, com- ments and other data.

—Checking and replacing the air conditioning filter The air conditioning filter may clog af- ter long use. The filter may need to be replaced if the air flow of the air condi- tioning and heater experiences extreme reductions in operating efficiency, or if the windows begin to fog up easily in FRESH mode. To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance sched- ule. (For scheduled maintenance informa- tion, please refer to the “Warranty and Service Booklet”.)

If an abnormality exists in the connection of temperature sensor, “––_C” will appear on the display. If “––_C” appears, contact your Toyota deal- er. AVERAGE FUEL CONSUMPTION (“AVG. L/100 km” or “AVG. km/l”) Average fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on total driving distance and total fuel consumption with the engine running. To reset the calculations, push and hold the “RESET” button (on the multi−informa- tion display) for more than 1 second.

INSTANTANEOUS FUEL CONSUMPTION (“L/100 km” or “km/l”) The instantaneous fuel consumption is calculated and displayed based on dis- tance and fuel consumption with the engine running.

NOTICE

Do not put magnets or a metal object near the multi−information display. Doing so may cause malfunction of the compass sensor.

Calibrating the compass (deviation calibration) The direction display on the compass deviates from the true direction deter- mined by the earth’s magnetic field. The amount of deviation varies according to the geographic position of To adjust for this deviation, stop the ve- hicle and push the “INFO.” button for a few seconds until the number (1−15) ap- pears on the clock.

Calibrating the compass (circling calibration) Sometimes the direction display on the compass may flash. In this case, the com- pass needs to be calibrated. To calibrate the compass: 1. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. Push and hold the “INFO.” button for a few seconds.

Number (1−15) appears on the clock. 2. Push the “RESET” button. “−N−” appears on the display.

If no button is pushed for 6 seconds, the display will automatically return to the flashing direction display. In this case, re- turn to step 1 and retry. 3. Drive the vehicle slowly in a circle

within 2 minutes.

After the circling calibration is completed correctly, the direction will appear on the display. Pushing the “RESET” button again before finishing circling calibration will return to the display with the number (1−15) shown on the clock. In this case, return to step 2 and retry.

Before finishing circling calibration, when pushing the “INFO.” button or performing no circling calibration within about 2 min- utes after pushing the “RESET” button, the display will return to the flashing direction display. In this case, return to step 1 and retry. If calibration cannot be performed because of the magnetized vehicle, etc., take your vehicle to Toyota dealer. Perform circling calibration just after you have purchased your Toyota. Then perform circling calibration whenever the battery has been removed, replaced or disconnected. D Do not perform circling calibration of the compass in a place where the earth’s magnetic field is subject to in- terference by artificial magnetic fields (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).

D During calibration, do not operate elec- tric systems (power windows, etc.) as they may interfere with the calibration.
