WARNING
■
Back door closer (vehicles with a power back door)
●
Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the power back
door system is canceled.
■
Power back door (if equipped)
Observe the following precautions when operating the power back door.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.
●
Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or any-
thing 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 back
door is about to open or close.
●
If the power back door system is canceled while the back door is operating during
automatic operation, the back door stops operating. Take extra care when on an
incline, as the back door may open or close suddenly.
●
If the operating conditions of the power back door are no longer met, a buzzer may
sound and the back door may stop opening or closing. The back door then has to be
operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the back door may move
abruptly.
●
On an incline, the back door may suddenly shut after it opens automatically. Make
sure the back door is secured.
●
In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality and auto-
matic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has to be operated man-
ually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped back door may suddenly open or
close, causing an accident.
• When the back door contacts an obstacle
• When the 12-volt battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the power switch
is turned to ON mode or the engine is started during automatic operation
●
If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, the power
back door may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the back door may move
slightly in the closing direction after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or
neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door,
ask your Lexus dealer for details.
●
In the event that the back door is left slightly
open, the back door closer will automatically
close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the back door closer
begins to operate. Be careful not to get fin-
gers caught or anything else in the back door,
as this may cause bone fractures or other
serious injuries.
