Using your audio system: some basics
This section describes some of the basic features of the Lexus
audio system. Some informat ion may not pertain to your
system.
Your audio system works when the ignition key 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
21X506b
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.
21X507a
Push “AM·SAT”, “FM”, “TAPE” or “DISC” 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 the cassette player by ejecting the cassette
tape. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire
audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette
tape. If another function was previously playing, it will come on
again.

21X553
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.
22X612
Each time you push the “AUDIO TUNE” knob, the display
changes as in the following. To adjust the tone and
balance or turn on or off the automatic sound levelizer,
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.
ASL: Turns on or off the automatic sound levelizer.
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 (ASL) is on, “ASL” appears on the
display.

AUDIO
222(c) Your power antenna
The antenna automatically extends when the radio is on, and
retracts
when the radio mode is off. However, even if you turn
off the radio when the radio on the rear seat audio system is on,
the antenna does not retract.
21X509
To adjust the height of the antenna manually, push the
switch at either side, this may be performed during
antenna extension. The maximum extension length is 850
mm (33.5 in.).
Every time you turn the radio on, the antenna will extend to its
previous position.
Clean the antenna mast periodically with a clean dry cloth.
CAUTION
Before extending the antenna, confirm that no one is
close enough to get injured.
NOTICE
Retract the antenna when entering or passing
through low structures, such as a garage or an
automatic car wash. Failure to do so may damage the
antenna.
The antenna mast has to be extended higher than 100
mm (3.94 in.) length when the audio is on. Extend the
antenna mast when the radio signal is weak.
Putting a film (especially a conductive or metallic
film) on the right hand rear quarter window may
affect the reception of radio or mobile telephone. For
the installation of the film, consult with your Lexus
dealer.

(d) Your cassette player
When
you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should be to the
right.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the cassette
player. Do not insert anything except a cassette tape
into the slot.
(e) Your CD player with changer
22x647
Your changer can store up to 6 CDs and play selected CDs or
continuously play all the CDs set in the player.
When you set CDs into the player, make sure their labels face
up. If not, the player will display “ERROR1” and the CD
number.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the CD
player. Do not insert anything other than CDs into the
slot.
Do not insert a CD upon another one, or it will damage
the changer. Insert only one CD into the slot at a time.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) CDs only.

Radio operation
(a) Listening to the radio
21X511a
Push these buttons to choose either an AM or FM station.
“AM”, “FM1” or “FM2” appears on the display.
If your vehicle is equipped with satellite radio broadcast
system, when you push the “AM·SAT” button, “AM”,
“SAT1”, “SAT2” or “SAT3” station appears on the display. For
details about satellite radio broadcast, see “Radio operation
(XM satellite radio broadcast)” on page 228
21X554
Turn this knob to the right to step up the station band or
to the left to step down.
Your radio automatically changes to stereo reception when a
stereo broadcast is received. “ST” appears on the display. If
the signal becomes weak, the radio reduces the amount of
channel separation to prevent the weak signal from creating
noise. If the signal becomes extremely weak, the radio
switches from stereo to mono reception. In this case, “ST”
disappears from the display.
