WARNING
Using the trunk
■
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious 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 suddenly shut again after it is opened.
When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the surround-
●
ing 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.
On an incline it is more difficult to open or close the trunk lid 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 opening the trunk lid, take care so that
●
it does not hit anyone in the face or any other
part of the body.
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.
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 suddenly shut again after it is
opened.
