The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec- 
tronic systems such as:  
● Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system 
● Toyota Safety Sense 
● Cruise control system 
● Anti-lock brake system 
● SRS airbag system 
● Seat belt pretensioner system 
Be sure to check with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer for precautionary measures or special 
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 avail- 
able on request at any authorized Toyota  retailer or Toyota authorized 
repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota 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 any authorized 
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.
