The installation of an RF-transmitter system in your vehicle could affect elec-
tronic systems such as:
●Hybrid system
●Multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel injection system
●Toyota Safety Sense
●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.
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 radio frequency transmitter
(RF-transmitter).
