■To prevent an accident 
Observe the following precautions  while driving the vehicle. 
Failure to do so may result in a door 
opening and an occupant being  thrown out of the vehicle, resulting in  
death or serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are properly 
closed and locked.
●Do not pull the inside door handle 
while driving.
Be especially careful of the front  doors, as the doors may be opened  
even if the inside lock buttons are in 
the locked position.
●Set the rear door child-protector 
locks when children are seated in  the rear seats.
■When opening or closing a door 
Check the surroundings of the vehicle  
such as whether the vehicle is on an 
incline, whether there is enough  space for a door to open and whether  
a strong wind is blowing. When open-
ing or closing the door, hold the door  handle tightly to prepare for any  
unpredictable movement.
■When using the wireless remote  control or the key and operating  
the power windows or panoramic 
moon roof (if equipped) 
Operate the power windows or pano- 
ramic moon roof after checking to 
make sure that there is no possibility  of any passenger having any of their  
body parts caught in the windows or 
panoramic moon roof. Also, do not  allow children to operate the wireless  
remote control or the key. It is possi-
ble for children and other passengers  to get caught in the power windows or  
panoramic moon roof.

WA R N I N G
Observe the following precautions. 
Failure to do so may result in death or 
serious injury.
■Caution while driving
●Keep the back door closed while  driving. If the back door is left open,  
it may hit near-by objects while driv-
ing or luggage may be unexpect- edly thrown out, causing an  
accident.
In addition, exhaust gases may  enter the vehicle, causing death or  
a serious health hazard. Make sure 
to close the back door before driv- ing.
●Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the back door is fully  
closed. If the back door is not fully 
closed, it may open unexpectedly  while driving, causing an accident.
●Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sud- 
den braking or a collision, they are 
susceptible to death or serious  injury.
■When children are in the vehicle
●Do not allow children to play in the  
luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in  the luggage compartment, they  
could have heat exhaustion or other 
injuries.
●Do not allow a child to open or  close the back door. 
Doing so may cause the back door 
to move unexpectedly, or cause the  child’s hands, head, or neck to be  
caught by the closing back door.
■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 sud- 
denly 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 clos-
ing the back door in windy weather 
as it may move abruptly in strong  wind.

●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 clos- 
ing by itself. When the ambient tem-
perature is low, the back door may 
close suddenly. Make sure that the  back door is fully open and secure  
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 luggage 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 outer 
surface. If a back door handle is  used to fully close the back door, it  
may result in hands or arms being 
caught.
●Do not pull on the back door  damper stay (vehicles without a  
power back door) (P.127) or 
back door spindle (vehicles with a  power back door) (P.133) to  
close the back door, and do not 
hang on the back door damper stay  (vehicles without a power back  
door) or back door spindle (vehicles 
with a power back door). Doing so  may cause hands to be caught or  
the back door damper stay (vehi-
cles without a power back door) or  back door spindle (vehicles with a  
power back door) to break, causing 
an accident.
●If a 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.
