■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 ba ck door in windy weather as it may move
abruptly in strong wind.
●Do not pull on the back door damper st ay (vehicles without a power back door)
(  P. 129) or back door spindle (v ehicles with a power back door) ( P. 1 3 0 ) t o
close the back door, and do not hang on t he back door damper stay (vehicles with-
out a power back door) or back door spin dle (vehicles with a power back door).
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay (vehicles
without a power back door) or back d oor spindle (vehicles with a power back
door) to break, causing an accident.
●If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may sud-
denly shut closed again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck
to be caught and injured. Wh en installing an accessory part to the back door, using a
genuine Lexus part is recommended.
●Vehicles without a power back door: 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
secured before using the luggage compart-
ment.
●Vehicles with a power back door: The back
door may suddenly shut if it is not opened
fully, while on a steep incline.
Make sure that the back door is secured
before using the lu ggage 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 ou ter surface. If the back
door handle is used to fully close the back
door, it may result in hands or arms being
caught.

■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.

■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the system
may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the
ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear
bumper center when the back door is opened.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage room, floor, or in the door
pockets or glove box when the engine is started or engine switch modes are
changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of th e instrument panel or near the door pockets
when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave reception conditions, it may be
detected by the antenna outs ide the cabin and the door will become lockable from the
outside, possibly trapping the el ectronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may be locked or
unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the engine
if the electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of wa ter splashes on the door handle, such as in
the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effective range. (The door
will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not
opened and closed.)
●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 )
●If the electronic key is insi de the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car
wash, a message may be shown on the mult i-information display and a buzzer will
sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.
●The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc.
Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again.

1443-3. Adjusting the seats

WA R N I N G
■Seat adjustment
To reduce the risk of sliding under the lap belt during a collision, do not recline the seat
more than necessary.
If the seat is too rec lined, the lap belt may slide past the hips and apply restraint forces
directly to the abdomen, or your neck may contact the shoulder belt, increasing the risk
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.
■After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Make sure that the seatback is securely locked in position by lightly pushing it back
and forth.
●Check that the seat belts are not twisted or caught in the seatback.
■Jam protection function (vehicles with a power seat)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●Never use any part of your body to intentio nally activate the jam protection function.
●The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the
seatback is fully folded forward. Be careful not to get fingers caught or anything else.
●The jam protection function may not work depending on the shape of the object that
is caught. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else.
NOTICE
■Stowing the seat belts
The seat belts and the buckles for the rear ce nter seat, as well as the armrest, must be
stowed before you fold down the rear seatbacks. ( P. 3 2 , 4 5 4 )
