CAUTION
Operating the back door
■
Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the back
●
door. Such additional weight on the back door may cause the back door to
fall closed again after it is opened.
Back door closer (vehicles with a power back door)
■
Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the
●
power back door system is cancelled.
Power back door (if equipped)
■
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obsta-
●
cles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
●
the back door is about to open or close.
If the power back door switch is pressed while the back door is opening
●
during automatic operation, the back door stops opening. Take extra care
when on an incline, as the back door may open or close suddenly.
If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a
●
buzzer may sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The
back door then has to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situa-
tion, as the back door may move abruptly.
On an incline, the back door may fall after it opens automatically. Make
●
sure the back door is fully open and secure.
1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
In the event that the back door is left
●
slightly open, the back door closer will
automatically close it to the fully closed
position. It takes several seconds
before the back door closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers
or anything else in the back door, as
this may cause bone fractures or other
serious injuries.
