2022 LEXUS NX300h Owners Manual

Be sure to check with your Lexus dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables on hybrid electric vehicles have structures which act as electromagnetic shielding. They emit approximately the same amount of
electromagnetic radiation as conventional gasoline powered vehicles and home
electronic appliances.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.
PrecautionsforscrappingyourLexus
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 dealer before you scrap your vehicle.
