The installation of an RF-transmitter system  in your vehicle could affect electronic sys- tems such as:
●Multiport fuel injection system/seque ntial multiport fuel injection system
●Dynamic radar cruise control with full-speed range system
●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 re tailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for precautionary measures or  special instructions regarding installation of an RF-transmitter system. 
Further information regarding frequency ba nds, power levels, antenna positions and installation provisions for the installation of  RF-transmitters, is available on request at any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus author ized repairer, or any reliable repairer. 
High voltage parts and cables on the hybrid vehicles emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoline powered vehicles orhome electronic appliances despite  of their electromagnetic shielding. 
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the radio frequency transmitter (RF-trans- mitter). 
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Lexus contain explosive 
chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with th e 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 SRSairbag and seat belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or 
by any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus au thorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before you scrap your vehicle.
Installation of an RF-transmitter system
Scrapping of your Lexus
Your vehicle contains batteries and/or accumulators. Do not discard them into the 
environment but cooperate with separate collection  (Directive 2006/66/EC).
