3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
CAUTION

Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.

When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.

Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.

The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of the
trunk lid unexpectedly opening or clos-
ing by itself. Make sure that the trunk
lid is fully open and secure before using
the trunk.

When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.

When closing the trunk lid, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the trunk handle is used to fully close
the trunk lid, it may result in hands or
arms being ca ght

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
