3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
NOTICE
● Do not touch the spindle rod
with gloves or other fabric items.
● Do not attach heavy accesso-
ries to the back door. When
attaching, ask your Toyota
dealer for details.
● Do not place your hand on the
spindle or apply lateral forces to
it.
■ To prevent back door closer
malfunction
Do not apply excessive force to
the back door while the back door
closer is operating. Applying
excessive force may cause the
back door closer to malfunction.
■ To prevent damage to the
power back door
● Make sure that there is no ice
between the back door and
frame that would prevent move-
ment of the back door. Operat-
ing the power back door when
excessive load is present on the
back door may cause a mal-
function.
● Do not apply excessive force to
the back door while the power
back door is operating.
● Take care not to damage the
sensors (installed on the right
and left edges of the power
back door) with a knife or other
sharp object. If the sensor is
disconnected, the power back
door will not close automati-
cally.
■ Close & lock function
When closing the power back
door using the close & lock func-
tion, a different buzzer than the
normal one will sound before the
operation begins.
To check that the operation has
started correctly, check that a dif-
ferent buzzer than the normal one
has sounded.
Additionally, when the power back
door is fully closed and locked,
operation signals will indicate that
all of the doors have been locked.
Before leaving the vehicle, make
sure that the operation signals
have operated and that all of the
doors are locked.
■ Hands Free Power Back Door
precautions (if equipped)
The kick sensor is located behind
lower center part of the rear
bumper. Observe the following to
ensure that the Hands Free
Power Back Door function oper-
ates properly:
● Keep the lower center part of
the rear bumper clean at all
times.
If the lower center part of the
rear bumper is dirty or covered
with snow or mud, the kick sen-
sor may not operate. In this situ-
ation, clean off the dirt or snow,
move the vehicle from the cur-
rent position and then check if
the kick sensor operates.
If it does not operate, have the
vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
● Do not apply coatings that have
a rain clearing (hydrophilic)
effect, or other coatings, to the
lower center part of the rear
bumper.
