CAUTION
Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may
●
move abruptly in strong wind.
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 fall
●
closed 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 Lexus part is recommended.
1-3. Opening, closing and locking the doors
The back door may fall if it is not opened
●
fully. 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 unexpect-
edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure
that the back door is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
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.
