Installation of a mobile two−way radio system

fuel

injection system/sequential multiport

As the installation of a mobile two−way radio system in your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as multiport fuel injection system, cruise control system, anti−lock brake system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner system, be sure to check with your authorized Toyota CNG dealer for precautionary measures or special instructions regarding installation.

Scrapping of your Toyota

The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and 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 the quali- fied service shop or by your authorized Toyota CNG dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.

Precautions for CNG

Your vehicle may use compressed natural gas (CNG) for fuel.

D Handle the CNG vehicle with care as the fuel tank and pipes of it are filled with extremely high pres- sure gas. In this case, close the manual shutoff valve and have your authorized Toyota CNG dealer carry out an inspection.

D You will be able to tell if fuel is leaking out of the vehicle by the sound of the leaking fuel and the smell of the fuel.

D Be careful not to run out of fuel. There are less CNG stations than gasoline stations so we recom- mend that you refuel early.

For details, see “Fuel” and “Fuel system” in Section 2.
