gage.
To close the back door, lower it and press
down on it. After closing the back door,
try pulling it up to make sure it is secure-
ly closed.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while driv-
ing. This not only keeps the luggage
from being thrown out, but also pre-
vents exhaust gases from entering
the vehicle.
If the 12 volt battery is disconnected or
run down, the back door will be automati-
cally locked and the back door system
may not work after you reconnect, replace
or recharge the 12 volt battery. In any of
these cases, normalize the back door sys-
tem by following procedure.
1. Unlock the back door with the remote
control key or power door lock switch.
2. Close the back door completely by
hand.
If the back door system does not operate
properly after the above procedure, there
may be a problem in the system. Contact
your Toyota dealer.
