■ Operating the power back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious
injury.
● Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the power back door before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the power back door to suddenly shut again
after it is opened.
● When opening or closing the power back door, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the power
back door is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the power back door in windy weather as it may
move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not pull on the back door spindle (P. 144) to close the power back door, and
do not hang on the back door spindle.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door spindle to break, causing
an accident.
● If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the power back door, it may
suddenly shut again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, arms, head or
neck to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the power back
door, using a genuine Lexus part is recommended.
● The power back door may suddenly shut if it is
not opened fully, while on a steep incline.
Make sure that the power back door is secure
before using the luggage compartment.
● When closing the power back door, take
extra care to prevent your fingers, etc., from
being caught.
● When closing the power back door, make
sure to press it lightly on its outer surface. If
the back door handle is used to fully close the
power back door, it may result in hands or
arms being caught.
