several seconds before the trunk easy closer
begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fin-
gers or anything else in the trunk lid, as this
may cause bone fractures or other serious
injuries.

Power trunk opener and closer (if equipped)

■
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 suddenly shut 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 shut, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the 12-volt 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 suddenly shut again after it is opened.
