WARNING
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.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
WARNING
●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.
●The back door may suddenly shut if it is not opened fully. It is more diffi-
cult to open or close the back door on an incline than on a level sur-face, 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 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 the 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 ( P.140) 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 rec-
ommended.
