873-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system
3
Audio/visual system
Station interference: When a 
reflected signal and a signal 
received directly from a radio 
station are very nearly the same 
frequency, they can interfere 
with each other, making it diffi-
cult to hear the broadcast.
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.
■SiriusXM
 Cargo loaded on the roof lug-
gage carrier, especially metal 
objects, may adversely affect 
the reception of SiriusXM Sat-
ellite Radio.
 Alternation or modifications 
carried out without appropri-
ate authorization may invali-
date the user’s right to 
operate the equipment.

badge means that an acces-
sory has been designed to

■Steering switchTa l k   s w i t c h
Voice command system:
• Press the talk switch to start the  voice command system. To can-
cel voice command, press and 
hold the talk switch.
When an Apple CarPlay/Android 
Auto connection is established:
• Press and hold the talk switch to  start Siri/Google Assistant. To 
cancel Siri/Google Assistant, 
press the talk switch.
• Press the talk switch to start the  voice command system.
■Microphone
 It is unnecessary to speak 
directly into the microphone 
when giving a command.
●Voice commands may not be rec-
ognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while  voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are  turned towards the microphone.
●In the following c onditions, the 
system may not  recognize the 
command properly and using 
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or  unclear. Note that certain words, 
accents or speech patterns may 
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background 
noise, such as wind noise.
●Normally, it is necessary to wait 
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable th e ability to talk 
over prompts and say commands 
before the beep, enable the voice 
prompt interrupt function. ( P. 5 5 )
●This system may not operate 
immediately after the engine 
switch is in ACC or ON.
Voice command sys-
tem
The voice command system 
enables the radio, phone 
dialing, etc. to be operated 
using voice commands. 
Refer to the command list 
for samples of voice com-
mands. ( P.99)

Peripheral monitoring system
The distance guide lines and  the vehicle width guide lines 
may not actually be parallel 
with the dividing lines of the 
parking space, even when 
they appear to be so. Be sure 
to check visually.
 The distances between the 
vehicle width guide lines and 
the left and right dividing lines 
of the parking space may not 
be equal, even when they 
appear to be so. Be sure to 
check visually.
 The distance guide lines give 
a distance guide for flat road 
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide 
lines on the screen and the 
actual distance/course on the 
road.
■When the ground behind 
the vehicle slopes up 
sharply
The distance guide lines will 
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance. 
Because of this, objects will 
appear to be farther away than 
they actually are. In the same 
way, there will be a margin of 
error between the guide lines 
and the actual distance/course 
on the road.
NOTICE
●The rear view monitor system 
may not operate properly in the 
following cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit,  the position and mounting angle 
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water  proof construction, do not 
detach, disassemble or modify 
it. This may cause incorrect 
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens,  flush the camera with a large 
quantity of water and wipe it 
with a soft and wet cloth. 
Strongly rubbing the camera 
lens may cause the camera lens 
to be scratched and unable to 
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent,  car wax, window  cleaner or a 
glass coating to adhere to the 
camera. If this happens, wipe it 
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is 
poured on the vehicle in cold 
weather, the system may not 
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do  not apply intensive bursts of 
water to the camera or camera 
area. Doing so may result in the 
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose  the camera to 
strong impact  as this could 
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer 
as soon as possible.

■Microphone
The microphone is used when 
talking on the phone.
●The other party’s voice will be 
heard from the front speakers. 
The audio/vis ual system will be 
muted during phone calls or when 
hands-free voice commands are 
used.
●Talk alternately with the other 
party on the phone. If both parties 
speak at the same time, the other 
party may not hear what has been 
said. (This is not a malfunction.)
●Keep call volume down. Other-
wise, the other party’s voice may 
be audible outside the vehicle and 
voice echo may increase. When 
talking on the phone, speak 
clearly towards the microphone.
●The other party may not hear you 
clearly when:
• Driving on an  unpaved road. 
(Making excessive traffic noise.)
• Driving at high speeds.
• The roof or windows are open.
• The air conditioning vents are  pointed towards the microphone.
• The sound of the air conditioning  fan is loud.
• There is a negative effect on 
sound quality due to the phone 
and/or network being used.
