ing. When opening or closing the door, hold the door handle tightly to prepare for any

WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully closed, it may
open unexpectedly while driving and hit ne ar-by objects or luggage in the luggage
compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident.
●Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could have heat
exhaustion or other injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands,
head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed while driving.

■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious
injury.
●Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before opening it.
Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly shut again after it is opened.
●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-
rounding area is safe.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the back
door is about to open or close.
●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 th e back door damper stay to break, caus-
ing an accident.
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may sud-
denly shut 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 genu-
ine Lexus part is recommended.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open or
close the back door on an incline than on a
level surface, so beware of the back door
unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.
Make sure that the back door is fully open and
secure before using the luggage compart-
ment.
●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.
