TAPE
Push “TAPE” to switch from radio or com-
pact disc operation to cassette operation.
If the audio system is off, you can turn
on the cassette player by pushing “TAPE”.
In both cases, a cassette must already be
loaded in the player.
TRACK (Track up/down button):
Compact disc player
By using this button, you can skip up or
down to a different track.
Push either side of the track button until
the number of the track you want to listen
to appears on the display. If you want to
return to the beginning of the current
track, quickly push the down side of the
button one time.
TRAF (Traffic)
This feature is available only in RDS
mode.
This button turns the traffic announcement
(TA) feature on and off.
By pushing this button, RDS is turned on
if it was off (“RDS” will display), and traf-
fic announcement feature is on. “TRAF”
appears on the display when the radio is
tuned to a traffic station. When the traffic
announcement feature is on, “< >” will be
displayed (<TRAF>).
If the current station is not a traffic sta-
tion, the radio will start a traffic program
search in increasing frequency order. Dur-
ing a traffic program search, “Seek Traffic”
will display. If no traffic programs are
found, “No Traf Info” will display.
If the radio receives a traffic announce-
ment, it will interrupt the cassette player
or compact disc mode (if either one was
on), adjust the volume to Traffic An-
nouncement level, and broadcast the traf-
fic announcement. During a traffic an-
nouncement, “TRAFFIC” will appear on the
display. After traffic announcement, it will
return to the previous mode and volume
level.
TA volume memory function—The volume
level when receiving the traffic announce-
ment is memorized.
When “TA” is received next time, the sys-
tem compares the volume before “TA” is
received and the memorized TA volume
and automatically selects the louder vol-
ume. However, the range of volume
memory is limited: if the volume received
previously is less than the minimum, this
volume will be used.
You can adjust the volume independently
from the memorized TA volume range
while receiving a TA station.
Traffic announcement can be canceled by
turning RDS off, or pressing the “TRAF”
button again.
TUNE (Tuning)
Your Toyota has an electronic tuning radio
(ETR). Push and release the “ Ɯ ” or “ Ɲ ”
side of “TUNE” to step up or down the
station band. Do this again to find another
frequency.
If you push and hold the “
Ɯ ” or “ Ɲ ” side
of “TUNE”, the radio will continue seeking
up or down for frequencies and will stop
at the next frequency that it finds after the
button is released. Press the button again
to resume the search.
