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
multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel
injection system, cruise control system, anti−lock brake
system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner
system, be sure to check with your authorized Toyota
CNG dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in
your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle
is scrapped with the airbags and 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 the quali-
fied service shop or by your authorized Toyota CNG
dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.

Precautions for CNG
Your vehicle may use compressed natural gas (CNG) for
fuel.
Handle the CNG vehicle with care as the fuel tank
and pipes of it are filled with extremely high pres-
sure gas. In this case, close the manual shutoff
valve and have your authorized Toyota CNG dealer
carry out an inspection.
You will be able to tell if fuel is leaking out of the
vehicle by the sound of the leaking fuel and the
smell of the fuel.
Be careful not to run out of fuel. There are less
CNG stations than gasoline stations so we recom-
mend that you refuel early.
For details, see “Fuel” and “Fuel system” in Section 2.
