Installation of a mobile two-way radio systemAs 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 sys-
tem, anti-lock brake system, vehicle stability control system, SRS air-
bag system and seat belt pretensioner system and Toyota hybrid
system, be sure to check with your Toyota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions regarding installation.
High voltage parts and cables on th e hybrid vehicles emit approxi-
mately the same amount of elec tromagnetic waves as the conven-
tional 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 Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pret ensioner devices in your Toyota
contain explosive chemic als. If the vehicle is scrapped with the air-
bags 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 Toyota dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
Perchlorate Material
Special handling may apply,
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazar douswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These
components may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wire-
less remote control batteries.
