REPLACING TIRES AND WHEELS
When replacing the tires and wheels, be
sure to install tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters. ID codes on the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters
are registered on the tire pressure warning
ECU. When replacing a tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, it is neces-
sary to register the ID code of tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter. Have
the ID code registered by your Toyota
dealer.
If the ID code is not registered, the sys-
tem will not work properly. After about 1
hour, the tire pressure warning light
comes on after blinking for 1 minute to
indicate a system malfunction.
NOTICE
When the tires or tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters must be
replaced, have them replaced by your
Toyota dealer. The tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters will be
affected by the installation or removal
of tires.
TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET
SWITCH
When initializing the system, the present
tire inflation pressure is stored as stan-
dard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by
comparing the present and the standard
tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is neces-
sary to initialize the tire pressure warning
system.

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” knob, the ID code of 8 alphanu-
meric characters appears. If you select
another channel, display of the ID code is
canceled. The channel (000) alternates the
display between the radio ID and the spe-
cific radio ID code.

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Type 1 and type 2 audio systems utilize
FOCUS and TruBass  audio enhance-
ment technologies, under license from
SRS Labs, Inc., in all mode except AM
radio mode.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange (type 3 only), and
bass levels. In fact, different kinds of mu-
sic and vocal programs usually sound bet-
ter with different mixes of treble, midrange
and bass.
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. YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear window.
NOTICE
Putting a film (especially a conductive
or metallic film) on the rear wi
ndow
will noticeably reduce the sensitivity
of the radio.
YOUR AUDIO DISPLAY
The audio information is displayed on the
center display.
