WARNING
■ Hands Free Power Back Door
(if equipped)
Observe the following precautions
when operating the Hands Free
Power Back Door.
Failure to do so may cause death
or serious injury.
● Check the safety of the sur-
rounding area to make sure
there are no obstacles or any-
thing that could cause any of
your belongings to get caught.
● When putting your foot near the
lower center part of the rear
bumper and moving it from the
rear bumper, be careful not to
touch the exhaust pipes until
they have cooled down suffi-
ciently, as touching hot exhaust
pipes can cause burns.

within the effective range
(detection area) of the luggage
compartment.
NOTICE
■ Back door spindles
The back door is equipped with
spindles that hold the back door in
place.
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause dam-
age to the back door spindle,
resulting in malfunction.
● Do not attach any foreign
objects, such as stickers, plastic
sheets, or adhesives to the

other than genuine Toyota parts
to the back door.
● Do not place your hand on the

it.
■ To prevent back door closer
malfunction
Do not apply excessive force to
the back door while the back door
closer is operating. Applying
excessive force may cause the
back door closer to malfunction.
■ To prevent damage to the
power back door
● Make sure that there is no ice
between the back door and
frame that would prevent move-
ment of the back door. Operat-
ing the power back door when
excessive load is present on the
back door may cause a mal-
function.
