CAUTION
Trunk easy closer
■
Power trunk opener and closer
■
Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk opener and
closer.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles 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 opener and closer 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 "POWER"
switch is turned to ON mode or the hybrid system is started during automatic
operation
Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. The
●
power trunk opener and closer 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 automati-
cally 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 serious injuries.
