■
Back door spindles (vehicles with a power back door)
The back door is equipped with spindles that hold the back door in place.
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause damage to the back door spindle, resulting in malfunction.
●
Do not place your hand on the spindle or apply lateral forces to it.
■
To prevent back door closer malfunction (vehicles with a power back door)
Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the back door closer is operating.
■
To prevent damage to the power back door (if equipped)
●
Make sure that there is no ice between the back door and frame that would prevent
movement of the back door. Operating the power back door when excessive load is
present on the back door may cause a malfunction.
●
Do not apply excessive force to the back door while the power back door is operat-

Take care not to damage the sensors (installed on the right and left edges of the
power back door) with a knife or other sharp object. If the sensor is disconnected, the
power back door will not close automatically.
●
Do not attach any foreign objects, such as
stickers, plastic sheets, or adhesives to the
spindle rod.
●
Do not touch the spindle rod with gloves or
other fabric items.
●
Do not attach heavy accessories to the back
door. When attaching, ask your Lexus dealer
