Using your audio system: some basics
This section describes some of the basic features of the Lexus
audio system. Some information may not pertain to your
system.
Your audio system works when the ignition switch is in the
“ACC” or “ON” position.
NOTICE
To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not
leave the audio system on longer than necessary when
the engine is not running.
(a) Turning the system on and off
Push this knob to turn the audio system on and off. Turn
this knob to adjust the volume.
The system turns on in the last mode used.

AUDIO
201
Push the “MUTE” button to decrease the volume
momentarily.
To return to its original volume, push the same button again.
When the audio system is turned on, the mute is always off
regardless of the previous mode.Push the “AM”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” button to turn on
that mode. The selected mode turns on directly.
Push these buttons if you want to switch from one mode to
another.
If the tape or CD is not set, the cassette player or CD player
does not turn on.
You can turn off each player by ejecting the cassette tape or
CD. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette
tape or CD. If the another function was previously playing, it
will come on again.

AUDIO
202
In the “TAPE” or “CD” mode, the applicable functions are
shown in the lowest part of the display. Push the switch
just below to turn on each function.
(b) Tone and balance
How good an audio program sounds to you is largely
determined by the mix of the treble, mid −range, and bass
levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes of treble, mid −range
and bass.
A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the
front and rear sound levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or
broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the
volume of one group of sounds while decreasing the volume
of another.Each time you push the “AUDIO CONTROL” knob, the
display changes as in the following. To adjust the tone and
balance, turn the knob.
BAS: Adjusts low −pitched tones.
MID: Adjusts mid− pitched tones.
TRE: Adjusts high− pitched tones.
FAD: Adjusts the sound balance between the front and rear
speakers.
BAL: Adjusts the sound balance between the right and left
speakers.

AUDIO
203
(c) Automatic Sound Levelizer (ASL)
When the audio sound becomes difficult to be heard due to
road noise,
wind noise, etc. during driving, the system adjusts
to the optimum volume and tone quality according to the noise
level. While the Automatic Sound Levelizer is on, “ASL”
appears on the display.
(d) Your radio antennas
The wire antenna is mounted inside the rear window.
NOTICE
 When cleaning the inside of the rear window, be
careful not to scratch or damage the wire antenna.
 Putting a window tint (especially, conductive or
metallic type) on the rear window may affect the
reception of radio or mobile telephone. For the
installation of the window tint, consult with your
Lexus dealer.
(e) Your cassette player
When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should face to
the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the cassette player, and do not
insert anything except a cassette tape into the slot.
(f) Your CD player
When you insert a CD, gently push it in with the label face up.
(The player will automatically eject a CD if the label face is
down.) The CD player will play from track 1 through the end
of the CD. Then it will play from track 1 again. On models with
the CD changer, next CD will be played from track 1.
NOTICE
 Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the CD
player. Do not insert anything other than CD’s into
the slot.
 Do not insert a CD upon another one.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CD’s only.
