 MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3),
WMA (Windows Media Audio)
and AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) are audio compres-
sion standards.
 This system can play
MP3/WMA/AAC files on USB memory.
 MP4, WMV and AVI files can
use the following resolutions:
128x96, 160x120, 176x144
(QCIF), 320x240 (QVGA),
352x240 (SIF), 352x288
(CIF), 640x480 (VGA),
720x480 (NTSC), 720x576
(PAL)
 When naming an
MP3/WMA/AAC file, add an
appropriate file extension
(.mp3/.wma/.m4a).
 This system plays back files
with .mp3/.wma/.m4a file
extensions as
MP3/WMA/AAC files respec-
tively. To prevent noise and
playback errors, use the
appropriate file extension.
 This system can play only the
first session/border when
using multi session/border
compatible discs.
 MP3 files are compatible with
the ID3 Tag Ver. 1.0, Ver. 1.1,
Ver. 2.2 and Ver. 2.3 formats.
This system cannot display
disc title, track title and artist
name in other formats.
 WMA/AAC files can contain a
WMA/AAC tag that is used in
the same way as an ID3 tag.
WMA/AAC tags carry infor-
mation such as track title and
artist name.
 The emphasis function is
available only when playing

953-6. Tips for operating the audio/visual system

Audio/visual system
describes the process of writ-
ing 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 embed-
ding track related information
in an MP3 file. This embed-
ded information can include
the track number, track title,
the artist’s name, the album
title, the music genre, the year
of production, comments,
cover art and other data. The
contents can be freely edited
using software with ID3 tag
editing functions. Although
the tags are restricted to a
number of characters, the
information 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 and artist
name.
■ISO 9660 format
 This is the international stan-
dard for the formatting of CD-
ROM folders and files. For the
ISO 9660 format, there are 2
levels of regulations.
 Level 1: The file name is in
8.3 format (8 character file
names, with a 3 character file extension. 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
fewer than 8 hierarchies.
■MP3
 MP3 is an audio compression
standard determined by a
working group (MPEG) of the
ISO (International Standard
Organization). MP3 com-
presses audio data to about
1/10 the size of that on con-
ventional discs.
■WMA
 WMA (Windows Media Audio)
is an audio compression for-
mat developed by Microsoft
®.
It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files.
The decoding formats for
WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and 9.

• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition- ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are
turned towards the microphone.
●In the following c onditions, the
system may not recognize the
command properly and using
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words,
accents or speech patterns may
be difficult for the system to recog-
Voice command sys-

1084-2. Mobile Assistant operation
2The Mobile Assistant can be
used only when the following
screen is displayed.
 Vehicles with an Apple Car-
Play: To cancel the Mobile
Assistant, select “Cancel” or
press and hold the talk switch
on the steering wheel.
Vehicles without an Apple
CarPlay: To cancel the Mobile
Assistant, select “Cancel” or
press and hold the switch
on the steering wheel.
 Vehicles with an Apple Car-
Play: To restart the Mobile
Assistant for additional com-
mands, press the talk switch
on the steering wheel.
Vehicles without an Apple
CarPlay: To restart the Mobile
Assistant for additional com-
mands, press the switch
on the steering wheel.
• Mobile Assistant can only be
restarted after the system
responds to a voice command.
• After some phone and music commands, the Mobile Assistant
feature will automatically end to
complete the re quested action.
The volume of the Mobile Assistant can be adjusted
using the “POWER VOLUME”
knob or steering wheel vol-
ume control switches. The
Mobile Assistant and phone
call volumes are synchro-
nized.
●While a phone call is active, the
Mobile Assistant cannot be used.
●If using the navigation feature of
the cellular phone, ensure the
active audio source is Bluetooth
®
audio or iPod in order to hear turn
by turn direction prompts.
●Wait for the listening beeps before
using the Mobile Assistant.
●The Mobile Assistant may not rec-
ognize commands in the following
situations:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while the Mobile Assistant is being used.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned toward the microphone.

1135-1. Rear view monitor system
5
Peripheral monitoring system
The distance guide lines and the vehicle width guide lines
may not actually be parallel
with the dividing lines of the
parking space, even when
they appear to be so. Be sure
to check visually.
 The distances between the
vehicle width guide lines and
the left and right dividing lines
of the parking space may not
be equal, even when they
appear to be so. Be sure to
check visually.
 The distance guide lines give
a distance guide for flat road
surfaces. In any of the follow-
ing situations, there is a mar-
gin of error between the guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When the ground behind
the vehicle slopes up
sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be closer to the vehi-
cle than the actual distance.
Because of this, objects will
appear to be farther away than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guide lines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
NOTICE
●The rear view monitor system
may not operate properly in the
following cases.
• If the back of the vehicle is hit, the position and mounting angle
of the camera may change.
• As the camera has a water proof construction, do not
detach, disassemble or modify
it. This may cause incorrect
operation.
• When cleaning the camera lens, flush the camera with a large
quantity of water and wipe it
with a soft and wet cloth.
Strongly rubbing the camera
lens may cause the camera lens
to be scratched and unable to
transmit a clear image.
• Do not allow organic solvent, car wax, window cleaner or a
glass coating to adhere to the
camera. If this happens, wipe it
off as soon as possible.
• If the temperature changes rap- idly, such as when hot water is
poured on the vehicle in cold
weather, the system may not
operate normally.
• When washing the vehicle, do not apply intensive bursts of
water to the camera or camera
area. Doing so may result in the
camera malfunctioning.
●Do not expose the camera to
strong impact as this could
cause a malfunction. If this hap-
pens, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
as soon as possible.
