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.
