electronic systems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system

Be sure to check with your Scion dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
Scrapping of your Scion
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Scion 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 Scion dealer
before you scrap your vehicle.

See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.

nents may include airbags, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-
trol batteries.
