SEEK (Seeking)
Radio
In the seek mode, the radio finds and
plays the next station up or down the
station band.
To seek a station, push and hold the º~ º or º !º side of ºSEEKº until you
hear a beep. Do this again to find
another station.
Cassette Player
By using this button, you can skip up
or down to a different track.
You can skip up to nine tracks at a
time.
Push the up or down side of the but-
ton. ºFF 1º or ºREW 1º will appear on
the display.
Next, push either side of the track
button until the number on the display
reaches the number of tracks you
want to skip. If you push the button
ten times, the skip feature will be
turned off. When counting the number of tracks
you want to rewind, remember to
count the current track as well. For
example, if you want to rewind to a
song that is two before the song you
are listening to, push on the down
side of the button until ºREW 3º ap-
pears on the display.
If you have pushed the track button
more than you wanted to, push the
other side of the button. The track
number will be reduced.
The track number you select is not
valid if it is higher than the number
of tracks remaining on the current
cassette side.
After the beginning of the tape is
reached, the player will automati-
cally start playing the same side.
After the end of the tape is
reached, the player will automati-
cally reverse sides and start play-
ing the other side.
There must be at least 3 seconds of
blank space between tracks for the
track button to work correctly. In addi-
tion, the feature may not work well
with some spoken word, live, or clas-
sical recordings. SKIP
The skip feature allows you to fast
forward past long stretches of blank
tape. This is especially useful at the
end of cassettes.
Push ºSKIPº. ºSKIPº will appear on
the display. The cassette player will
keep track of how much blank space
it plays. Any time it has played about
10 seconds of blank tape, it will auto-
matically fast forward to the next track
and begin to play.
Push the button a second time to turn
off the skip feature.
ST (Stereo reception) display
Your radio automatically changes to
stereo reception when a stereo broad-
cast is received. ºSTº appears on the
display. If the signal becomes weak,
the radio reduces the amount of chan-
nel separation to prevent the weak
signal from creating noise. If the sig-
nal becomes extremely weak, the ra-
dio switches from stereo to mono re-
ception.

compact disc operation to cassette op-
eration. If the audio system is off, you
can turn on the cassette player by
pushing ºTAPEº. In both cases, a cas-

of the button one time, quickly.
TUNE (Tuning)
Your Toyota has an electronic tuning
radio (ETR). Push and release the º ~º
(up) or º !º (down) side of ºTUNEº to
step up or down the station band. (If
you hear a beep, you held the button
too long and the radio will go into the
seek mode.)
NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio sys-
tem operation:
Be careful not to spill bever-ages over the audio system.
Do not put anything other thana cassette tape or Compact
Disc into the slot.
RADIO RECEPTION
Usually, a problem with radio recep-
tion does not mean there is a problem
with your radio Ðit is just the normal
result of conditions outside the ve-
hicle.
For example, nearby buildings and ter-
rain can interfere with FM reception.
Power lines or telephone wires can
interfere with AM signals. And of
course, radio signals have a limited
range, and 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
problems that probably do not indicate
a problem with your radio: FM
Fading and drifting stationsÐGeneral-
ly, the effective range of FM is about
40 km (25 miles). Once outside this
range, you may notice fading and
drifting, which increase with the dis-
tance from the radio transmitter. They
are often accompanied by distortion.
Multi- pathÐFM 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 flutteringÐThese occur
when signals are blocked by buildings,
trees, or other large objects. Increas-
ing the bass level may reduce static
and fluttering.
Station swappingÐIf the FM signal
you are listening to is interrupted or
weakened, and there is another strong
station nearby on the FM band, your
radio may tune in the second station
until the original signal can be picked
up again.

The top portion of the label shows the
oil quality by API (American Petroleum
Institute) designations such as SJ.
The center portion of the label shows
the SAE
viscosity grade such as SAE 5W- 30.
ºEnergy- Conservingº shown in the
lower portion, indicates that the oil
has fuel- saving capab ilities.
The ILSAC (International Lubricant
Standardization and Approval Commit-
tee) Certification Mark is displayed on
the front of the container. Look at the see- through coolant
reservoir when the engine is cold.
The coolant level is satisfactory if
it is between the ºF (Full)º and ºL
(Low)º lines on the reservoir. If the
level is low, add ethylene- glycol
type coolant.
The coolant level in the reservoir will
vary with engine temperature. Howev-
er, if the level is on or below the ºLº
line, add coolant. Bring the level up
to the ºFº line.
Use only ethylene- glycol type coolant.
See information in the next column.
If the coolant level drops within a
short time after replenishing, there
may be a leak in the system. Visually
check the radiator, hoses, radiator cap
and drain cock and water pump.
If you can find no leak, have your
Toyota dealer test the cap pressure
and check for leaks in the cooling
system.
CAUTION
To prevent burning yourself, do
not remove the radiator cap when
the engine is hot.
Coolant type selection
Your coolant must contain ethylene-
glycol antifreeze. In addition to pre-
venting freezing and subsequent dam-
age to the engine, this will also
prevent corrosion. Further supplemen-
tal inhibitors or additives are neither
needed nor recommended.
Read the antifreeze container for in-
formation on freeze protection. Follow
the manufacturer 's directions for how
much to mix with water. The total ca-
pacity of the cooling system is given
in Part 8. We recommend 50% solu-
tion be used for your Toyota, or a
sufficient quantity to provide protection
to about -35
C (- 31 F).
NOTICE
Do not use alcohol type antifreeze
or plain water alone.
