Under certain circumstances, the cruise
control is temporarily cancelled:
When vehicle speed falls below 40
km/h (25 mph)
When vehicle stability control is acti-
vated
When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the set speed, the cruise con-
trol is cancelled and the set speed is
erased from memory.
The “CRUISE” indicator light remains on
to indicate that the system is still in op-
eration.
To turn the cruise control off, press the
“ON −OFF” button. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.
If the cruise control automatically cancels
out other than for the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity.
RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL
If the cruise control is temporarily can-
celled, the cruising speed can be resumed
by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”
direction.
Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25
mph). RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “
− SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
lever down in the “− SET” direction.
Vehicles with automatic transmis-
sion—Even if you downshift from the “D”
or “5” (fifth range) to the “4” (fourth
range) with the cruise control on, engine
braking will not be enabled because the
cruise control is not cancelled. To de-
crease the vehicle speed, reset to a slow-
er speed with the cruise control lever or
depress the brake pedal. If you use the
brake pedal, cruise control is cancelled. CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes
when using the cruise control, press the
“ON
−OFF” button to turn the system off
and then press it again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

LISTENING TO THE XM SATELLITE
RADIO BROADCAST
∗
To listen to a satellite radio broadcast in
your vehicle, an additional genuine Toyota
satellite receiver and antenna (or equiva-
lents) must be purchased and installed. A
subscription to the XM satellite radio ser-
vice is also necessary.
How to subscribe to an XM satellite
radio
An XM satellite radio is a tuner designed
exclusively to receive broadcasts provided
under a separate subscription. Availability
is limited to the 48 contiguous states.
Reference Using your audio system—
—Some basics

167
How to subscribe:
You must enter into a separate service
agreement with the XM radio in order to
receive satellite broadcast programming in
the vehicle. Additional activation and ser-
vice subscription fees apply that are not
included in the purchase price of the ve-
hicle and optional digital satellite tuner.
For complete information on subscription
rates and terms, or to subscribe to the
XM radio, visit XM on the web at
www.xmradio.com
or call an XM’s Listener
Care at (800) 967 −2346. The XM radio is
solely responsible for the quality, availabil-
ity and content of the satellite radio ser-
vices provided, which are subject to the
terms and conditions of the XM radio cus-
tomer service agreement.
Customers should have their radio ID
ready; the radio ID can be found by tun-
ing to “channel 000” on the radio. For
details, see “Displaying the radio ID” be-
low.
All fees and programming are the respon-
sibility of the XM satellite radio and are
subject to change. Satellite tuner technology notice:
Toyota’s satellite radio tuners are awarded
Type Approval Certificates from XM Satel-
lite Radio Inc. as proof of compatibility
with the services offered by the XM satel-
lite radio.
Displaying the radio ID
Each XM tuner is identified with a unique
radio ID. You will need the radio ID when
activating XM service or when reporting a
problem.
If you select the “CH 000” using the
“TUNE·FILE” button, the ID code of 8 al-
phanumeric characters appears. If you se-
lect another channel, display of the ID
code is canceled. The channel (000) alter-
nates the display between the radio ID
and the specific radio ID code.
∗: Use of satellite radio requires XM tuner
and service. Contact your Toyota deal-
er for details. TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (JBL brand audio sys-
tem
∗ only), and bass levels. In fact, differ-
ent kinds of music and vocal programs
usually sound better with different mixes
of treble, midrange, and bass.
You can adjust sound characteristics. Dif-
ferent sound characteristics can be re-
corded for each audio source.
∗: If a JBL brand audio system is
installed, the “JBL” logo is shown on
the panel.
Balance
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 vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.

168
YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Coupe—Your vehicle has an antenna
printed on the inside of the rear window.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive

(4.7 in.) discs only.
NOTICE
 Do not insert two discs simulta-
neously, or it will cause damage to
the compact disc player. Insert only
one compact disc into the slot at a
time.
