Accessories, spare parts and modification of your Lexus
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Lexus vehicles are

these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or replacement,
or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they may have on, your

This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Lexus products. Modification
with non-genuine Lexus products could affect its performance, safety or durability,
and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition, damage or perfor-

Installation of a mobile two-way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle may affect elec-
tronic systems such as the hybrid system, multiport fuel injection system/sequential
multiport fuel injection system, cruise control system, vehicle dynamics integrated
management, anti-lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner
system, be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
