tion may be stopped. In this case, 
the back door has to be operated  manually. Take extra care when on  
an incline, as the back door may 
open or close abruptly. 
• When the back door contacts an  
obstacle 
• When the battery voltage suddenly  
drops, such as when the engine  switch is turned to ON or the engine  
is started during an automatic oper-
ation
●If a heavy object is attached to the 
back door, the power back door  may not operate, causing a mal- 
function, or the power back door 
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,

with electronic devices
●People with implantable cardiac  pacemakers, cardiac  
resynchronization therapy-pace-
makers or implantable cardioverter  defibrillators should maintain a rea- 
sonable distance between them-
selves and the smart entry & start 
system antennas. ( P.136) The radio waves may affect the  
operation of such devices. If neces-
sary, the entry function can be disa- bled. 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 emit-
ted radio waves. Then, consult your  doctor to see if you should disable  
the entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical 
device other than implantable car-
diac pacemakers, cardiac  resynchronization therapy-pace- 
makers or implantable cardioverter 
defibrillators should consult the  manufacturer of the device for infor- 
mation about its operation under 
the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unex- 
pected effects on the operation of 
such medical devices.
