WARNING
■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 surrounding 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.
● 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 com- 
partment.  
● 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.

WARNING
●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 suddenly 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 genuine Toyota part is recommended.
NOTICE
■ Back door damper stays 
The back door is equipped with damper stays that hold the back door in 
place. 
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may cause damage to the back door damper stay, resulting 
in malfunction. 
● Do not place your hand on the damper stay or apply lateral forces to it.
●Do not attach any foreign objects, such 
as stickers, plastic sheets, or adhesives
to the damper stay rod. 
● Do not touch the damper stay rod with 
gloves or other fabric items. 
● Do not attach any accessories other 
than genuine Toyota parts to the back 
door.

WARNING
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices 
● People with implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization 
therapy-pacemakers or implantable card ioverter defibrillators should main- 
tain a reasonable distance between themselves and the smart entry & 
start system antennas. ( P. 171) 
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary, 
the entry function can be disabled. Ask any authorized Toyota retailer or 
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer for details, such as the
frequency of radio waves and timing of the emitted radio waves. Then, 
consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function. 
● Users of any electrical medical device other than implantable cardiac 
pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or implant- 
able cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the 
device for information about its operation under the influence of radio
waves.  
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such 
medical devices. 
Ask any authorized Toyota retailer or To yota authorized repairer, or any reli- 
able repairer for details on disabling the entry function.

Operation of each component
C-HR_OM_Europe_OM10528E
WARNING
■When adjusting the seat position 
● Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passen- 
gers are not injured by the moving seat. 
● Do not put your hands under the seat or near the moving parts to avoid 
injury. 
Fingers or hands may become jammed in the seat mechanism. 
● Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck. 
■ Seat adjustment 
● Be careful that the seat does not hit passengers or luggage. 
● 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 reclined, 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 made while driving as the seat may unexpect-
edly move and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. 
● After adjusting the seat, make sure that the seat is locked in position.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury. 
■ When folding the rear seatbacks down 
● Do not fold the seatbacks down while driving. 
● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift 
lever to P (Multidrive) or N (manual transmission). 
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart- 
ment while driving. 
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment. 
● Do not allow anyone to sit on the rear center seat if the rear right seat is 
folded down, as the seat belt buckle for the rear center seat belt is then
concealed under the folded seat and cannot be used. 
● Be careful not to get your hand caught when folding the rear seatbacks. 
● Adjust the position of the front seats before folding down the rear seat- 
backs so that the front seats do not interfere with the rear seatbacks when 
folding down the rear seatbacks. 
■ After returning the rear seatback to the upright position
●Make sure that the seatback is securely 
locked in position by lightly pushing it 
back and forth.  
If the seatback is not securely locked,
the red marking will be visible on the 
seatback lock release lever. Make sure 
that the red marking is not visible. 
● Check that the seat belts are not twisted 
or caught in the seatback.  
If the seat belt gets caught between the 
seatback’s securing hook and latch, it
may damage the seat belt.
