WARNING
Operating the back door
■
● The back door may suddenly shut if the
back door stopper is not locked. It is
more difficult to open or close the back
door on an incline than on a level sur-
face, so beware of the back door unex-
pectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the back door stopper is
locked and secure before using the lug-
gage compartment.
● Even with the back door stopper locked, the back door stopper may unlock
and the back door may close when excessive force such as a strong wind
is applied to the back door. Take extra care to prevent any part of your
body from being caught.
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 Toyota part is recommended.
