CARING FOR YOUR CD CHANGER
AND DISCS
Your CD changer is intended for use
with 4.7 in. (12 cm) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your CD changer from working. On hot
days, use the air conditioning to cool
the vehicle interior before you use the
changer.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your CD changer skip.
If moisture gets into your CD changer,
you may not play even though they ap-
pear to be working. Remove the disc
from the changer and wait until it dries.
CAUTION
CD changer use an invisible laser
beam which could cause hazardous
radiation exposure if directed out-
side the unit. Be sure to operate the
changers correctly.

Correct Wrong
Handle discs carefully, especially
when you are inserting them. Hold
them on the edge and do not bend the-
m. Avoid getting fingerprints on them,
particularly on the shiny side.
Dirt, scratches, warping, pin holes, or
other disc damage could cause the
player to skip or to repeat a section of
a track. (To see a pin hole, hold the disc
up to the light.)
Remove discs from the players when
you are not using them. Store them in
their plastic cases away from moisture,
heat, and direct sunlight.
6U5B98X
To clean a disc: Wipe it with a soft, lint−
free cloth that has been dampened with
water. Wipe in a straight line from the cen-
ter to the edge of the disc (not in circles).
Dry it with another soft, lint− free cloth. Do
not use a conventional record cleaner or
anti−static device.

MP3/WMA FILES
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3) and WMA
(Windows Media Audio) are audio
compression standards.
The MP3/WMA player can play MP3
and WMA files on CD −ROM, CD−R
and CD −RW discs.
The unit can play disc recordings com-
patible with ISO 9660 level 1 and level
2 and with the Romeo and Joliet file
system.
When naming an MP3 or WMA file, add
the appropriate file extension (.mp3 or
.wma).
The MP3/WMA player plays back files
with .mp3 or .wma file extensions as
MP3 or WMA files. To prevent noise
and playback errors, use the appropri-
ate file extensions.
The player can play only the first ses-
sion using multi −session compatible
CDs.
MP3 files are compatible with the ID3
Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1, Ver. 2.2, and Ver.
2.3 formats. The unit cannot display
disc title, track title and artist name in
other formats.
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that
is used in the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA tags carry information such as
track title, artist name.
The emphasis function is available
only when playing MP3/WMA files re-
corded at 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz. (The
system can play MP3 files with sam-
pling frequencies of 16, 22.05, and 24
kHz. However, the emphasis function
is not available for files recorded at
these frequencies.)
The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally improves with higher bit rate-
s. In order to achieve a reasonable lev-
el of sound quality, discs recorded with
a bit rate of at least 128 kbps are rec-
ommended.
Playable bit rates
MP3 files:
MPEG1 LAYER3—64 to 320 kbps
MPEG2 LSF LAYER3—64 to 160 kbps
WMA files:
Ver. 7, 8 CBR—48 to 192 kbps
Ver. 9 CBR—48 to 320 kbps
The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs re-
corder using packet write data transfer
(UDF format). Discs should be re-
corded using “pre −mastering” software
rather than packet− write software.
M3u playlists are not compatible with
the audio player.
MP3i (MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO
formats are not compatible with the au-
dio player.
The MP3 player is compatible with
VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play
time will not be correctly displayed if
fast−forward or reverse operations are
used.
It is not possible to check folders that
do not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3/WMA files in folders up to 8 levels
deep can be played. However, the
start of playback may be delayed when
using discs containing numerous lev-
els of folders. For this reason, we rec-
ommend creating discs with no more
than two levels of folders.
It is possible to play up to 192 folders or
255 files on one disc.

It may not be possible to play CD
−
R/CD−RW discs recorded on a music
CD recorder or a personal computer
because of disc characteristics,
scratches or dirt on the disc, or dirt,
condensation, etc. on the lens of the
unit.
It may not be possible to play discs re-
corded on a personal computer de-
pending on the application settings and
the environment. Record with the cor-
rect format. (For details, contact the
appropriate application manufacturers
of the applications.)
CD−R/CD−RW discs may be damaged
by direct exposure to sunlight, high
temperatures or other storage condi-
tions. The unit may be unable to play
some damaged discs.
If you insert a CD−RW disc into the
MP3/WMA player, playback will begin
more slowly than with a conventional
CD or CD− R disc.
Recordings on CD −R/CD−RW cannot
be played using the DDCD (Double
Density CD) system.

TERMS
Packet write—
This is a general term that describes the
process of writing data on−demand to
CD−R, etc., in the same way that data is
written to floppy or hard discs.
ID3 Tag—
This is a method of embedding track −re-
lated information in an MP3 file. This em-
bedded information can include the track
title, the artist’s name, the album title, the
music genre, the year of production, com-
ments and other data. The contents can
be freely edited using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although the tags are re-
stricted to the number of characters, the in-
formation can be viewed when the track is
played back.
WMA Tag—
WMA files can contain a WMA tag that is
used in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title,
artist name.
ISO 9660 format—
This is the international standard for the
formatting of CD−ROM folders and files.
For the ISO 9660 format, there are two lev-
els of regulations.
Level 1:
The file name is in 8.3 format (8 character
file names, with a 3 character file exten-
sion. File names must be composed of
one−byte capital letters and numbers. The
“_” symbol may also be included.)
Level 2:
The file name can have up to 31 characters
(including the separation mark “.” and file
extension). Each folder must contain few-
er than 8 hierarchies. m3u—
Playlists created using “WINAMP” soft-
ware have a playlist file extension (.m3u).
MP3—
MP3 is an audio compression standard de-
termined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza-
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
about
1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
WMA—
WMA (Windows Media  Audio) is an audio
compression format developed by Micro-
soft . It compresses files into a size small-
er than that of MP3 files. The decoding for-
mats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8, and 9.

ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE
SYSTEM
Advanced parking guidance system 192
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM
192
The advanced parking guidance sys-
tem helps back up parking by display-
ing a rearview image in order to pro-
vide a reference for back up
maneuvering, as well as automatically
controlling the steering wheel when
backing into a target parking position
set on the screen. The system will not
automatically back up or regulate
speed.
The advanced parking guidance system is
not an automatic parking system. It is a
system to assist back up parking.
As the system only assists with parking in
a set target parking position, there are
times when the system will be unable to
render this assistance, depending on fac-
tors such as road surface or vehicle condi-
tion, or the distance to the set target park-
ing position.
Depending on the characteristics of the
camera lens, the distance to or position of
people or obstacles shown on the screen
may differ slightly from actual conditions.
SELECTING A LANGUAGE
See “  Selecting a language” on page 237
for the procedure to select a language.
Once you select a language, the advanced
parking guidance system will indicate that
language until you select another lan-
guage.CAUTION
Never depend on the advanced
parking guidance system entirely
when backing up. Always make
sure your intended path is clear.
Use caution, just as you would
when backing up any vehicle.
Never back up while looking only at
the screen. The image on the
screen is different from actual
conditions. Depicted distances
between objects and flat surfaces
will differ from actual distances. If
you back up while looking only at
the screen, you may hit a vehicle, a
person or an object. When backing
up, be sure to check behind and all
around the vehicle visually and
with mirrors before proceeding.
Back up slowly, using the brake
pedal to control the vehicle’s
speed.
If you seem likely to hit nearby ve-
hicles, obstacles or people, de-
press the brake pedal to stop the
vehicle, and then disable the sys-
tem by touching on the
screen.
Use the system for flat spaces.
As the steering wheel moves auto-
matically in the parallel parking as-
sist mode and parking assist
mode, be aware of the following
points:
Keep clothing such as neckties,
scarves and long sleeves away
from the steering wheel, as they
may become entangled. Also,
keep children away from the
steering wheel.
If you have long fingernails, be
careful not to injure yourself
when the steering wheel moves.
Advanced parking guidance
system —

ADVANCED PARKING GUIDANCE SYSTEM
193
If there is a problem, stop the ve-
hicle and disable the system by
touching on the screen.
Be sure to check that the vehicle
can actually park in the target
space before beginning operation.
Do not use the system in the follow-
ing conditions:
Outside of parking areas
In unprepared parking area such
as gravel or sand
In parking areas that are crooked
or have level variations
On slippery or icy roads, or in
snow
If the asphalt is melted due to
harsh sunlight
If there are obstacles in the tar-
get parking position (inside the
green frame), or obstacles be-
tween the vehicle and the park-
ing space
If there are a large number of ve-
hicles or pedestrians passing
In areas unsuitable for parking
(overly small parking space, cliff
etc.)
If the image is hard to see due to
dirt, direct sunlight, shadow or
snow on the camera lens
If you are using tire chains or
emergency tire(s)
Do not use tires other than those
installed by the manufacturer, as
the system may not function cor-
rectly. Furthermore, if you change
the tires, there may be errors in the
positions of the lines and frames
displayed on the screen. If you
wish to change your ti res, see your
Toyota dealer .
In the following conditions, as-
sisted parking in the set parking
position may not be possible:
The tires are extremely worn, or
the tire inflation pressure is low
You are carrying an extremely
heavy load
There is a load in one side of the
vehicle only, causing the vehicle
to lean
Tires have received a strong im-
pact, such as bumping against a
curb, resulting in improper
wheel alignment
Do not use the system when the
back door is not completely
closed.
If the back of the vehicle is hit, the
position and mounting angle of the
camera may change. Be sure to
have the camera’s position and
mounting angle checked at your
Toyota dealer.
As the camera has a water proof
construction, do not detach, disas-
semble or modify it. This may
cause incorrect operation.
If the temperature changes rapidly,
such as when hot water is poured
on the vehicle in cold weather, the
system may not operate normally.
If the camera lens becomes dirty, it
cannot transmit a clear image. If
water droplets, snow, or mud ad-
here to the lens, rinse with water
and wipe with a soft cloth. If the
lens is extremely dirty, wash it with
a mild cleanser and rinse.
If you scrape the camera cover, or
scrub it with a hard brush or an
abrasive agent, you may scratch
the cover, leading to poor picture
quality.
