(d) Radio Data System
Your audio system is equipped with Radio
Data Systems (RDS). RDS mode pro-
vides you to receive text messages from
radio stations that utilize RDS transmit-
ters.
When RDS is on, the radio can
—only select stations of a particular pro-
gram type,
—display messages from radio stations,
—search for a stronger signal station,
—search for local stations broadcasting
the same network as the vehicle travels,
—receive announcements concerning lo-
cal and national emergencies (even if
RDS function is turned off).
RDS features are available for the use
only on FM stations which broadcast RDS
information. “RDS SRCH” switch
This switch allows you to search all avail-
able RDS stations out of the entire FM
band and sort them by program type
(See following “TYPE” switch for details
on program types).
By touching this button at the FM mode,
RDS is turned on and the radio is
switched to FM type mode. During the
program type search, “RDS SEARCH” will
be shown on the screen. Also at this
time, “FM TYPE” will appear on the
screen to indicate that the station selec-
tor switches are for program type.
After searching for all the available RDS
stations, the radio will activate the pre-
viously used program type. If the pre-
viously used program type is not avail-
able, or if the radio has not yet
performed a program type search, the
radio will activate the first available pro-
gram type that has stations in memory.
The radio will preset the stations of the
current program type into the preset but-
tons.
These are accessible through the “TYPE”
switch. If more than 6 stations are found,
the radio will load the 6 strongest sta-
tions signal of the program type into the
presets.If no RDS stations are found, “No RDS
Stations Found” will be displayed and the
beep sounds. Then the radio will return
to the previous FM mode and frequency.
“Alert”
This type of announcement warns of na-
tional or local emergencies. You will not
be able to turn off alert announcements.
Alert announcements will come on even
if RDS mode is turned off. “Alert” ap-
pears on the screen when an alert an-
nouncement plays. The radio uses TA
volume during these announcements.
When an alert announcement comes on
the tuned radio station or a related net-
work station, you will hear it even if the
volume is muted or a cassette tape or
compact disc is playing. If the radio tunes
to a related network station for an alert
announcement, it will return to the origi-
nal station when the announcement is
finished. If the cassette tape or compact
disc player is playing, play will stop for
the announcement and resume when the
announcement is finished.

“MSG” (Message)
When an RDS radio station transmits a
text message, “MSG” will be displayed.
At this time, touch the “MSG” switch to
view the text message. The message dis-
play will be canceled if any button that
affects the display is pushed. To view the
message again, touch the “MSG” switch
again. After the entire message has been
displayed, the message will disappear.
The RDS audio system has memory to
store three 64 character messages. To
store a message in memory, touch and
hold the “STORE” switch until you hear
a beep.
If 3 messages are already stored in
memory, the oldest message will be over-
written by the new message.To recall a radio text messages stored in
memory, touch the “RECALL” switch.
Touching the “LATEST MESSAGE” will
display the most recent message.
If no messages have been stored, or if
there are no more messages to be re-
called, “RECALL” switch is dimmed. The
message display will be canceled if you
activate any function that affects the dis-
play.

This switch is used for changing the pro-
gram type (PTY) of RDS stations in all

“RPT” switch: Use it for automatic re-
peat of the track you are currently listen-
ing to.
Touch the switch while the track is play-
ing. When the track is finished, the player
will automatically go back to the begin-
ning of the track and play the track

touch the switch once again. (e) If the player malfunctions
If “WAIT” appears on the screen, audio
signals of the disc cannot be read or the
system has trouble. Push the “CD” button
once again.
If the player does not operate, check that
the disc surface is not soiled or dama-
ged. If the disc is O.K., the temperature
of the player’s internal mechanism may
be raised because of high external tem-
perature. Remove the disc from the play-
er to cool it.
If the player still does not operate, have
it checked by your Toyota dealer.

NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio system
operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
 Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or Compact Disc into
the slot.
 The use of cellular phone inside or
near the vehicle may cause a noise
from the speakers of the audio
system which you are listening to.
However, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio reception
does not mean there is a problem with
your radio—it is just the normal result of
conditions outside the vehicle.
For example, nearby buildings and terrain
can interfere with FM reception. Power
lines or telephone wires can interfere with
AM signals. And of course, radio signals
have a limited range. The farther you are
from a station, the weaker its signal will
be. In addition, reception conditions
change constantly as your vehicle moves. Here are some common reception prob-
lems that probably do not indicate a
problem with your radio:
FM
Fading and drifting stations—Generally,
the effective range of FM is about 40 km
(25 miles). Once outside this range, you
may notice fading and drifting, which in-
crease with the distance from the radio
transmitter. They are often accompanied
by distortion.
Multi
−path—FM signals are reflective,
making it possible for two signals to
reach your antenna at the same time. If
this happens, the signals will cancel each
other out, causing a momentary flutter or
loss of reception.
Static and fluttering—These occur when
signals are blocked by buildings, trees, or
other large objects. Increasing the bass
level may reduce static and fluttering.
Station swapping—If the FM signal you
are listening to is interrupted or weak-
ened, and there is anot her strong station
nearby on the FM band, your radio may
tune in the second station until the origi-
nal signal can be picked up again. AM
Fading—AM broadcasts are reflected by
the upper atmosphere—especially at
night. These reflected signals can inter-
fere with those received directly from the
radio station, causin
g the radio station to
sound alternately strong and weak.
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 difficult 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.
CARING FOR YOUR CASSETTE
PLAYER AND TAPES
For the best performance for your cas-
sette player and tapes:
Clean the tape head and other parts reg-
ularly.
A dirty tape head or tape path can
decrease sound quality and tangle
your cassette tapes. The easiest way
to clean them is by using a cleaning
tape. (A wet type is recommended.)
