General
recommendations for the
sliding side doors
WARNI NG
Doors must only be operated when the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and that of your passengers, as well as for correct operation of the doors, you are strongly advised not to drive with a door open.Always check that it is safe to operate the door and in particular, be sure not to leave children or animals near the door controls without supervision.The audible warning, the lighting of the "door open" warning lamp and the message on the screen are there to remind you. Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer if you want to deactivate this warning.Lock the vehicle when you use an automatic car wash.
WARNI NG
Before opening or closing and while moving doors, ensure that no person, animal or object is in the door frame or any other position that would block the desired movement, inside or outside the vehicle.If this advice is not followed, injuries or damage may occur if any part of a person or
an object is trapped or caught.Electrical door opening is disabled at speeds above 2 mph (3 km/h):– However, if the vehicle started moving while the doors were open, the speed must be reduced below 19 mph (30 km/h) before they can be closed.– Any attempt to open a door electrically using the interior handle while driving results in it only being possible to open the door manually.– This situation is accompanied by the audible warning, the lighting of the "door open" warning lamp and the message on the screen. To release the door and be able to operate it again, it is necessary to stop the vehicle.

WARNI NG
Take care not to block the guide space on the floor so that the door can slide correctly.For safety and functional reasons, do not drive with the sliding side door open.
NOTIC E
The electric controls are disabled in the event of an impact. Manual opening and closing remain possible.
NOTIC E
While starting the engine, door movements are paused, resuming when the engine is running.
NOTIC E
Depending on the engine fitted, if the door is closed and an opening request is issued in Stop mode of Stop & Start, the door will open slightly and then stop. In Start mode, the door will resume its movement when the engine re-starts.
NOTIC E
To hold the sliding side door in the open position, open the door fully to engage the latch (located at the bottom of the door).
Doors and door clearances

When open, a door projects beyond the body. Allow adequate clearance when parking alongside walls, lamp-posts, high pavements, etc.

NOTIC E
When open, a door never projects beyond the rear bumper.
Safety/Obstacle detection
with electric door(s)

The obstacle detection system is triggered when the moving door encounters an obstacle with a certain level of physical resistance. If an obstacle is detected:– while the door is closing, the door stops then opens fully.– while the door is opening, the door stops then closes.– twice in succession during a movement of the door, the door will no longer close electrically (uninitialisation).On a steep slope: a safety system slows down the movement of the door.In all cases, wait a few seconds before operating
the door (closing or opening).

44
Close the door manually for safety reasons.Then reinitialise the door.
Reinitialising electric doors
If electrical operations no longer work:► Fully close the door(s) manually.► Fully open the door(s) electrically.► Close the door(s) electrically.On completion of this procedure, electric
operation of the doors is restored.However, if a problem persists following this procedure, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
On a steep slope

It is possible to open and close the doors electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.If the vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the vehicle facing up the slope, open the door with care. The door may open more quickly due to the incline.On a steep slope, guide the side door manually to help it to close.

If your vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the vehicle facing down the slope, the door may not
stay open and may close violently with the risk of injury.
WARNI NG
In the case of a steep slope, the door may be driven by its own weight and as a consequence may open or close violently.There would not be time for action at the electric controls to take effect.There would not be time for the obstacle detection system to react.Take care not to leave the vehicle on a steep slope with the door(s) open without supervision. If this advice is not followed, injuries or damage may occur if a person or an object is trapped or caught.
