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 fall closed 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.

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 fall closed
again after it is opened.

1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

The trunk lid may fall 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 closing 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 caught.
