Using your audio system—
—Some basics
This section describes some of the basic
features on Toyota audio systems. Some
information may not pertain to your sys-
tem.
TONE AND BALANCE
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Your vehicle has a mast type antenna.
Detachable antenna
To remove an detachable antenna, careful-
ly turn it counterclockwise.
Your audio system works when the ignition
key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In
fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange, and bass.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
NOTICE
Push “PWR·VOL” or “PWR/VOL” to turn
the audio system on and off.
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is removed before driv-
ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash.
Push “AM”, “FM1·2”, “TAPE” or “CD” to
turn on that function without pushing
“PWR·VOL” or “PWR/VOL”.
Balance
You can turn on each player by inserting
a cassette tape or compact disc.
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Power antenna
To lower a power antenna, turn off the
audio system by pushing “PWR·VOL” or
“PWR/VOL”, or turn the ignition key to
“LOCK”.
You can turn off each player by ejecting
the cassette tape or compact disc. If the
audio system was previously off, then the
entire audio system will be turned off
when you eject the cassette tape or com-
pact disc. If the another function was pre-
viously playing, it will come on again.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.
The power antenna automatically retracts
when the radio mode is switched off to
turn on the cassette tape player.
SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS
NOTICE
Push “AM”, “FM1·2”, “TAPE” or “CD” if the
system is already on but you want to
switch from one function to another.
To prevent damage to the antenna,
make sure it is retracted before driv-
ing your Toyota through an automatic
car wash.
