■Trunk easy closer
■Power trunk lid
Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk lid.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or
anything 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
trunk is about to open or close.
●If the trunk closer switch is pressed while the trunk lid is opening during automatic
operation, the trunk lid stops opening. Take extra care when on an incline, as the
trunk lid may open or close suddenly.
●On an incline, the trunk lid may suddenly shut after it opens automatically. Make
sure the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.
●In the following situations, the power trunk lid may detect an abnormality and
automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has to be operated
manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped trunk lid may suddenly
shut, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle
• When the 12-volt battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the power
switch is turned to ON mode or the hybrid system is started during automatic
operation
●Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. The
power trunk lid may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the trunk lid may
suddenly shut closed again after it is opened.
In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly
open, the trunk easy closer will automatically
close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the trunk easy closer
begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fin-
gers or anything else in the trunk lid, as this
may cause bone fractures or other serious
injuries.

CAUTION
■When adjusting the seat position
●Take care when adjusting the seat position to ensure that other passengers 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.
■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 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 unexpectedly move
and cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.

Do not operate the front passenger’s seat when a passenger is seated in it. In addi-
tion, do not let anyone sit down in the front passenger’s seat while the seat is being
operated or when the head restraint is being folded. The front passenger may
catch their legs between the instrument panel and seat, or the head restraint may
interfere with their head, resulting in injury.
■When adjusting the seat positions or the front passenger ottoman (if equipped)
Make sure to leave enough space around the feet so they do not get stuck.
