Installation of an RF-transmitter system
The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
Hybrid system
Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
Dynamic radar cruise control
Cruise control system
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated management
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system.
Further information regarding frequency bands, power levels, antenna posi-
tions and installation provisions for the installation of RF-transmitters, is
available on request at any authorized Lexus dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the RF-transmitter.

Hybrid system features
Your vehicle is a hybrid vehicle. It has characteristics different from
conventional vehicles. Be sure you are closely familiar with the char-
acteristics of your vehicle, and operate with care.
The hybrid system combines the use of a gasoline engine and an elec-
tric motor (traction motor) according to driving conditions, improving
fuel efficiency and reducing exhaust emissions.

Electric motor (traction motor)

When stopped/during start off
The gasoline engine stops* when the vehicle is stopped.
During start off, the electric motor (traction motor) drives the
vehicle. At slow speeds or when traveling down a gentle
slope, the engine is stopped* and the motor is used.
When shift position is in N, the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) will not be charged. Thus, shift to P when the vehicle is
stopped. In addition, when driving in heavy traffic, use D or
B.
*:However, when the hybrid battery (traction battery) need to
be charged or while the engine is being warmed up, the gas-
oline engine may not stop automatically.
During normal driving
The gasoline engine is predominantly used. The electric
motor (traction motor) charges the hybrid battery as neces-
sary.
When accelerating sharply
The power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is added to
that of the gasoline engine via the electric motor (traction
motor).
When braking (regenerative braking)
