TRAF (Traffic)
This button turns the traffic announcement
(TA) feature on and off.
By pushing “< >” button, “TRAF” appears
on the display and the radio will start

that was active before the interrupt.
TUNE (Tuning)
Your Toyota has an electronic tuning radio
(ETR). Turn the knob clockwise to step up
the frequency. Turn the knob counterclock-
wise to step down the frequency.NOTICE
To ensure correct audio system op-
erations:

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 a cellular phone inside
or near the vehicle may cause a
noise from the speakers of the au-
dio 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.
