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
● Toyota Safety Sense P

same amount of electromagnetic waves as the conventional gasoli ne pow-
ered vehicles or home electronic appliances despite of their el ectromagnetic
shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.
