■Back door closer (vehicles with a power back door)
●Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the power back
door system is canceled.
■Power back door (if equipped)
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or any-
thing 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 back
door is about to open or close.
●If the power back door system is canceled while the back door is operating during
automatic operation, the back door stops operating. Take extra care when on an
incline, as the back door may open or close suddenly.
●If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer may
sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The back door then has to be
operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the back door may move
abruptly.
●On an incline, the back door may sudden ly shut after it opens automatically. Make
sure the back door is secured.
●In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality and auto-
matic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has to be operated man-
ually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped back door may suddenly open or
close, causing an accident.
• When the back door contacts an obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during automatic opera-
tion
●In the event that the back door is left slightly
open, the back door closer will automatically
close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the back door closer
begins to operate. Be careful not to get fin-
gers caught or anything else in the back door,
as this may cause bone fractures or other
serious injuries.

●If the wireless remote control is used to lo ck the doors when the electronic key is near
the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the entry func-
tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor while wearin g gloves may delay or prevent lock opera-
tion. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.
●When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be
shown up to two consecutive times. After th is, no recognition signals will be given.
●If the door handle becomes wet while the el ectronic key is within the effective range,
the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. In that case, follow the following correction
procedures to wash the vehicle:
• Place the electronic key in a location 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from the vehicle. (Take
care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
• Set the electronic key to battery-saving mode to disable the smart access system with push-button start. ( P. 1 3 3 )

●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers are not
injured by the moving seat.

of death or serious injury in the event of an accident.
Adjustments should not be ma de while driving as the seat may unexpectedly move and
cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
