Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as the multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport
fuel injection system, cruise control syst em, anti-lock brake system, SRS airbag sys -
tem and seat belt pretensioner system, be sur
e to check with your Lexus dealer for
precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybr i
d vehicles emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.
Scrapping of your Lexus
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explosive
chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt pretensioners left
as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be sure to have the systems of
the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified
service shop or by your Lexus deal er before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply, See www.d tsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These components may
i
nclude airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote control batteries.

1-1. Hybrid system
Hybrid battery air vent
There is an air intake vent on the
side of the rear left seatback for
the purpose of cooling the hybrid
battery (traction battery). If the
vent become blocked, the hybrid
battery may overheat, leading to a
reduction in hybrid battery output.
Emergency shut off system
When a certain level of impact is detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks off the high voltage current and stops
the fuel pump to minimize the risk of electrocution and fuel leakage. If the
emergency shut off system activates, yo ur vehicle will not restart. To
restart the hybrid system, contact your Lexus dealer.
Hybrid warning message
A message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in the
hybrid system or an improper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown on
the multi-information display
, read
the message and follow the
instructions.
