radiation exposure

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.

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.

To clean a compact disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint−free cloth that has been damp- ened with water. Wipe in a straight line from the center 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.

MP3 WMA FILES D MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) are audio com- pression standards.

D 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.

D When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add the appropriate file extension (.mp3
or .wma)

D 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.

D Multi−session compatible CDs can also

be played.

D MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver. 2.3 formats. The unit cannot dis- play disc track title and artist name in other formats.

D 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.

D The emphasis function is available only when playing MP3/WMA files recorded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The system can play MP3 files with sampling fre- quencies of 16, 22.05, and 24 kHz. However, the emphasis function is not available for files recorded at these fre- quencies.)

D The sound quality of MP3/WMA files generally improves with higher bit rates. In order to achieve a reasonable level of sound quality, discs recorded with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are recommended. Playable bit rates MP3 files: MPEG1 LAYER3—64 to 320 kbps MPEG2 LSF LAYER3—64 to 160 kbps WMA files: Ver. 7, 8 CBR—48 to 192 kbps Ver. 9 CBR—48 to 320 kbps

VBR (Variable Bit Rate).

D When playing back files recorded as VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will not be correctly displayed if fast−forward or reverse operations are used.

D It is not possible to check folders that

do not include MP3/WMA files.

D MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 lev- els deep can be played. However, the start of playback may be delayed when using discs containing numerous levels of folders. For this reason, we recom- mend creating discs with no more than two levels of folders.

D It is possible to play up to 192 folders

or 255 files on one disc.

D It may not be possible to play discs recorded 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.)

D CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged to sunlight, high by direct exposure temperatures or other storage condi- tions. The unit may be unable to play some damaged discs.

D 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.

TERMS Packet write— This is a general term that describes the process of writing data on−demand to CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is written to floppy or hard discs. ID3 Tag— This is a method of embedding track−re- lated information in an 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. The contents can be freely edited using software with ID3

ISO 9660 format— This is the international standard for the formatting of CD−ROM folders and files. For the ISO 9660 format, there are two levels of regulations. Level 1: The file name is in 8.3 format (8 charac- ter file extension. File names must be composed of one−byte capital letters and numbers. The “_” symbol may also be included.) Level 2: The file name can have up to 31 charac- ters (including the separation mark “.” and file extension). Each folder must contain fewer than 8 hierarchies. m3u— Playlists created using “WINAMP” software have a playlist file extension (.m3u). MP3— MP3 is an audio compression standard determined 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 convention- al discs.

The air conditioning filter is set behind the glove box.

—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. To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance sched- ule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, such as inner city or desert areas, early replacement may be required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Owner’s Manual Sup- plement/Scheduled Maintenance”.)

Break−in period Drive gently and avoid high speeds. Your vehicle does not need an elaborate break−in. But following a few simple tips for the first 1000 km (600 miles) can add to the future economy and long life of your vehicle: D Avoid

full−throttle acceleration when

starting and driving.

D Avoid racing the hybrid engine. D Try to avoid hard stops during the first

300 km (200 miles).

Fuel FUEL TYPE Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline. To help prevent gas station mixups, your Toyota has a smaller fuel tank opening. The special nozzle on pumps with un- leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan- dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will not. At a minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5−M93
in Canada.

NOTICE

Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of leaded gasoline will cause the three− way catalytic converter to lose its ef- fectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly. Also, this can increase maintenance costs.

OCTANE RATING Select unleaded gasoline with an Oc- tane Rating of 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher.

fuel, or

the recommended

Use of unleaded fuel with an octane num- ber or rating lower than stated above will cause persistent heavy knocking. If se- vere, this will lead to engine damage. If your engine knocks... If you detect heavy knocking even when using if you hear steady knocking while holding a steady speed on level roads, consult your Toyota dealer. However, occasionally, you may notice light knocking for a short time while accel- erating or driving up hills. This is normal and there is no need for concern. GASOLINE CONTAINING DETERGENT ADDITIVES Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to avoid build−up of engine deposits. However, all gasoline sold the U.S. contains detergent additives to keep clean and/or clean intake systems.

for quality

QUALITY GASOLINE Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., Europe and Japan have developed a specification fuel named World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that is expected to be applied world wide. The WWFC consists of four categories that depend on required emission le- vels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted. The WWFC improves air quali- ty by providing for better emissions in vehicle fleets, and customer satisfaction through better vehicle performance. CLEANER BURNING GASOLINE Cleaner burning gasoline, including re- formulated gasoline that contains oxy- genates such as ethanol or MTBE is available in many areas. Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gas- oline provide excellent vehicle perfor- mance, reduce vehicle emissions, and im- prove air quality.

If you use gasohol

OXYGENATES IN GASOLINE Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE. in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower than 87. Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol. GASOLINE CONTAINING MMT Some gasoline contain an octane en- hancing additive called MMT (Methylcy- clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl). Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel con- taining MMT is used, your emission con- trol system may be adversely affected. The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the in- strument cluster may come on. If this hap- pens, contact your Toyota dealer for ser- vice.

GASOLINE QUALITY In a very few cases, you may experience driveability problems caused by the partic- ular gasoline that you are using. If you continue to have unacceptable driveability, try changing gasoline brands. If this does not rectify your problem, then consult your Toyota dealer.

NOTICE

z Do not use gasohol other

than stated above. It will cause fuel sys- tem damage or vehicle performance problems.

z If drivability problems are encoun- tered (poor hot starting, vaporizing, engine knock, etc.), discontinue its use.

z Take care not to spill gasohol dur- ing refueling. Gasohol may cause paint damage.

Fuel pump shut−off system The fuel pump shut−off system stops sup- plying fuel to the engine to minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an airbag inflates upon collision. To restart the hybrid system after the fuel pump shut−off system activates, press the “POWER” switch to the “OFF” mode and start it.

CAUTION

Inspect the ground under the vehicle before restarting the hybrid system. If you find that liquid has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been damaged and it is in need of repair. In this case, do not restart the hybrid system.

CAUTION

D Keep people and combustible mate- rials away from the exhaust pipe while the engine is running. The exhaust gas is very hot.

D Do not drive, idle or park your ve- hicle over anything that might burn easily such as grass, leaves, paper or rags.

NOTICE

large amount of unburned gases into the three−way catalytic flowing converter may cause it to overheat and create a fire hazard. To prevent this and other damage, observe the following precautions: z Use only unleaded gasoline. z Do not drive with an extremely low fuel level; running out of fuel could cause the engine to misfire, creat- ing an excessive load on the three− way catalytic converter.

z Do not turn off the ignition while

the vehicle is moving.

z Keep your engine in good running order. Malfunctions in the engine electrical system, electronic ignition system/distributor ignition system or fuel system could cause an ex- tremely high temperature.

z If the engine becomes difficult to start or stalls frequently, take your vehicle in for a check−up as soon as possible. Remember, your Toyota dealer knows your vehicle and its three−way catalytic converter sys- tem best.
