CAUTION

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.

Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the
power back door system is cancelled.

Power back door
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause death or 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 system is turned off with the main switch while the
back door is operating automatically, the automatic operation is stopped.
The back door then has to be operated manually. Take extra care when on
an incline, as the back door may open or close unexpectedly.


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.
