1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk
CAUTION

Trunk easy closer

Power trunk lid
Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk lid.
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 trunk is about to open or close.

If the trunk closer switch is pressed while the trunk lid is opening during
automatic operation, the trunk lid stops opening. Take extra care when on
an incline, as the trunk lid may open or close suddenly.

On an incline, the trunk lid may fall after it opens automatically. Make
sure the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.

In the following situations, the power trunk lid may detect an abnormality
and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has to
be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped
trunk lid may suddenly fall, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the "ENGINE
START STOP" switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine
is started during automatic operation

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk
lid. The power trunk lid may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or
the trunk lid may fall closed again after it is opened.

In the event that the trunk lid is left
slightly open, the trunk easy closer will
automatically close it to the fully
closed position. It takes several seconds
before the trunk easy closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers
or anything else in the trunk lid, as this
may cause bone fractures or other seri-
ous injuries
