4. The three-digit code should be on the
display.
Push and hold in “SCAN” until the display
goes dark. (At first, “SEC” will appear on
the display.)
If you pushed any wrong buttons,
“Err” and the number of errors you
have made will appear on the display
before “SEC” does. Go back to step 2
and try again. If the display returns to
“- - -” while you are entering the code,
go back to step 3.
To make sure the security code has been
accepted, turn the ignition to “LOCK” and
then back to “ACC”. “SEC” should appear
on the display.
NOTICE
A tenth error will activate the
anti-theft system and “HELP” will
appear on the display. The audio
system will be completely
inoperable. At this time, the
anti-theft
light also comes on. If this
occurs, contact your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
To ensure the correct audio system
operation:
Be careful not to spill beverages
over the audio system.
Do not put anything other than a
cassette tape or CD magazine into
the cassette tape slot or CD
changer.
ILLUMINATION CONTROL LOGIC
When the instrument panel lights are on,
the letters on operable buttons of the
mode in current use light up. On some au-
dio units, the mode selection and eject
buttons also light up.
On some audio-units, when a cassette
tape and compact disc are not in the slot
the letters on the tape and disc mode but-
tons do not light up, but the slot lights up
for easy access. Once a cassette tape or
compact disc is inserted, the letters on the
tape or disc mode buttons light up, and the
slot stops illuminating.
