WARNING

Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or
serious injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.

When opening or closing the back door, 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
back door is about to open or close.

Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.

The back door may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the back door on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of the
back door unexpectedly opening or clos-
ing by itself. Make sure that the back door
is fully open and secure before using the
luggage compartment.

When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.

When closing the back door, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
back door handle is used to fully close the
back door, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.

Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do not
hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to break,
causing an accident.

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may
suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone's hands, head or
neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back
door, using a genuine Lexus part is recommended.
