6. TIPS FOR OPERATING THE AUDIO SYSTEM
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3), WMA
(Windows Media Audio) and AAC
(Advanced Audio Coding) are audio com -
pression standards.
 Thi
s system can play MP3/WMA/AAC files
on USB memory.
 When
naming an MP3/WMA/AAC file, add
an appropriate file extension (.mp3/.wma/
.m4a).
 Thi
s 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.
 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 Album
ti
tle, 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.
 Thi
s system can play back AAC files
encoded by iTunes.
 The so
und quality of MP3/WMA files gen -
erally improves with higher bit rates. In
order t o achieve a reasonable level of
sound quality, files recorded with a bit rate
of at least 128 kbps are recommended.
 M3u pl
aylists are not compatible with the
audio player.
 MP3i
(MP3 interactive) and MP3PRO for -
mats are not compatible with the audio
pla yer.
 The pl
ayer is compatible with VBR (Vari -
able Bit Rate).
 When
playing back files recorded as VBR
(Variable Bit Rate) files, the play time will
not be correctly displayed if the fast for -
ward or rewind operations are used.
 It
is not possible to check folders that do
not include MP3/WMA/AAC files. 
MP3
/WMA/AAC files in folders up to 8 lev -
els deep can be played. However, the
st art of playback may be delayed when
there are numerous levels of folders. For
this reason, we recommend using no
more than 2 levels of folders.
 The
play order changes depending on the
personal computer and MP3/WMA/AAC
encoding software you use.

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

u
sed in the same way as an ID3 tag. WMA
tags carry information such as track title
and artist name.
 MP3 i s an audio compression standard

d
etermined by a working group (MPEG) of
the ISO (International Standard Organiza -
tion). MP3 compresses audio data to
a bout

1/10 the size of that on conventional
discs.
 WMA (Windows Media Audio) is an audio
co
mpression format developed by
Micro soft
®. 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.

The distance guide lines and the vehicle
width guide lines may not actually be par -
allel 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

gui
de 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

gui
de for flat road surfaces. In any of the
following situations, there is a margin of
error between the fixed guide lines on the
screen 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 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 a glass coating 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.
