(Variable Bit Rate (VBR) compatible)
MP3  (MPEG  Audio  Layer  3),  WMA
(Windows  Media  Audio)  and  AAC
(Advanced Audio  Coding)  are  audio  com-
pression standards.
 This system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files
on CD-R, CD-RW discs and USB memory.
 This system 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/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  respectively.  To  prevent  noise
and  playback  errors,  use  the  appropriate
file extension.
 This system can play only the first session
when 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 for-
mats.  This  system  cannot  display  disc
title, track title and artist name in other for-
mats.
 WMA/AAC  files  can  contain  a  WMA/AAC
tag that is used in the same way as an ID3
tag.  WMA/AAC  tags  carry  information
such as track title and artist name.
 The  emphasis  function  is  available  only
when  playing  MP3/WMA  files  recorded  at
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz.
 This  system  can  play  back  AAC  files
encoded by iTunes.
 The  sound  quality  of  MP3/WMA  files  gen-
erally  improves  with  higher  bit  rates.  In
order  to  achieve  a  reasonable  level  of
sound  quality,  discs  recorded  with  a  bit
rate  of  at  least  128  kbps  are  recom-
mended.

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  writ-
ten to floppy or hard discs.
 This  is  a  method  of  embedding  track-
related  information  in  an  MP3  file.  This
embedded  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  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. 
This  is  the  international  standard  for  the
formatting  of  CD-ROM  folders  and  files.
For  the  ISO  9660  format,  there  are  2  lev-
els 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  com-
posed of one-byte capital letters and num-
bers.  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  is  an  audio  compression  standard
determined 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  (Windows  Media Audio)  is  an  audio
compression  format  developed  by
Microsoft
®. It compresses files into a size
smaller than that of MP3 files. The decod-
ing formats for WMA files are Ver. 7, 8 and
9.

 AAC  is  short  for  Advanced  Audio  Coding
and  refers  to  an  audio  compression  tech-
nology  standard  used  with  MPEG2  and
MPEG4.

erly and using voice commands may not
be possible:
• The  command  is  incorrect  or  unclear.
Note  that  certain  words,  accents  or
speech patterns may be difficult for the
system to recognize.
• There  is  excessive  background  noise, such as wind noise.
● The  ability  to  dial  a  contact  using  voice
commands may take some time after the
power  switch  is  in ACCESSORY  or  ON
mode,  especially  when  the  phone  has
many contacts.
VOICE COMMAND SYSTEM 
OPERATION
The voice command system is operat-
ed by selecting a tab corresponding to
each  function.  The  tabs  are  found  on

THE CAMERA
The  camera  for  the  rear  view  monitor
system is located as shown in the illus-
tration.
USING THE CAMERA
If  dirt  or  foreign  matter  (such  as  water
droplets,  snow,  mud  etc.)  is  adhering
to  the  camera,  it  cannot  transmit  a
clear image. In this case, flush it with a
large  quantity  of  water  and  wipe  the
camera lens clean with a soft and wet
cloth.
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  con-
struction,  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 glass coat to adhere
to  the  camera.  If  this  happens,  wipe  it
off as soon as possible.
• If  the  temperature  changes  rapidly,
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  malfunc-
tion.  If  this  happens,  have  the  vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon
as possible.

INFORMATION
● The  other  party’s  voice  will  be  heard
from  the  front  speakers.  The  audio  sys-
tem  will  be  muted  during  phone  calls  or
when  hands-free  voice  commands  are
used.
● Talk  alternately  with  the  other  party  on
the  phone.  If  both  parties  speak  at  the
same time, the other party may not hear
what  has  been  said.  (This  is  not  a  mal-
function.)
● Keep  call  volume  down.  Otherwise,  the
other  party’s  voice  may  be  audible  out-
side  the  vehicle  and  voice  echo  may
increase.  When  talking  on  the  phone,
speak clearly towards the microphone.
● The other party may not hear you clearly
when:
• Driving  on  an  unpaved  road.  (Making
excessive traffic noise.)
• Driving at high speeds.
• The roof or windows are open.
• The  air  conditioning  vents  are  pointed towards the microphone.
• The sound of the air conditioning fan is loud.
• There  is  a  negative  effect  on  sound quality  due  to  the  phone  and/or  net-
work being used.

NAVIGATION SYSTEM

6. TIPS FOR THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM
1. GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)
The Global Positioning System (GPS) de-
veloped and operated by the U.S. Depart-
ment  of  Defense  provides  an  accurate
current position, normally using 4 or more
satellites,  and  in  some  case  3  satellites.
The GPS system has a certain level of in-
accuracy.  While  the  navigation  system
compensates for this most of the time, oc-
casional  positioning errors of  up  to 300  ft.
(100 m) can and should be expected. Gen-
erally,  position  errors  will  be  corrected
within a few seconds. When the vehicle is receiving signals from
satellites,  the  “GPS”  mark  appears  at  the
top left of the screen.
The  GPS  signal  may  be  physically  ob-
structed, leading to inaccurate vehicle po-
sition  on  the  map  screen.  Tunnels,  tall
buildings, trucks, or even the placement of
objects  on  the  control  panel  may  obstruct
the GPS signals.
The  GPS  satellites  may  not  send  signals
due  to  repairs  or  improvements  being
made to them.
Even  when  the  navigation  system  is  re-
ceiving clear GPS signals, the vehicle po-
sition  may  not  be  shown accurately or
inappropriate route guidance may occur in
some cases.
LIMITATIONS OF THE 
NAVIGATION SYSTEM
This  navigation  system  calculates  the
current position using satellite signals,
various vehicle signals, map data, etc.
However, an accurate position may not
be shown depending on satellite condi-
tions,  road  configuration,  vehicle  con-
dition or other circumstances.
NOTICE
●
The  installation  of  window  tinting  may
obstruct  the  GPS  signals.  Most  window
tinting  contains  some  metallic  content
that will interfere with GPS signal recep-
tion  of  the  antenna  in  the  instrument
panel. We advise against the use of win-
dow  tinting  on  vehicles  equipped  with
navigation systems.
