CAUTION
nCaution while driving
lKeep the trunk lid closed while driving.
If the trunk lid is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or lug-
gage in the trunk may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may enter the vehicle, causing death or a seri-
ous health hazard. Make sure to close the trunk lid before driving.
l Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed. If the
trunk lid is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving, caus-
ing an accident.
l Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the event of sudden braking or a colli-
sion, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
n When a child is in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
lDo not allow a child to play in the trunk.
If a child is accidentally locked in the trunk, the child could suffer from heat
exhaustion, suffocation or other injuries.
l Do not allow a child to open or close the trunk lid.
Doing so may cause the trunk lid to operate unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.

CAUTION
nUsing the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
lRemove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
l When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
l If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
l Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
l Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
lThe trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully. It is more difficult to
open or close the trunk lid on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of
the trunk lid unexpectedly opening or
closing by itself. Make sure that the
trunk lid is fully open and secure before
using the trunk.
l When closing the trunk lid, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
l When closing the trunk lid, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the
trunk handle is used to fully close the
trunk lid, it may result in hands or arms
being caught.
