WARNING
■
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 obsta-
cles or anything 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 turned off while the back door is operat-
ing 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 situa-
tion, as the back door may move abruptly.
●
On an incline, the back door may suddenly shut after it opens automati-
cally. Make sure the back door is fully open and secure.
●
In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality
and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has
to be operated manually. 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 hybrid system 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 Toyota dealer for
details.
