■ Power back door
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 sur-
rounding area to make sure
there are no obstacles or any-
thing 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
disabled while the power back
door is operating, the back door
will stop operating. The back
door must then be operated
manually. Take extra care in this
situation, as the back door may
open or close suddenly.
● If the operating conditions of the
power back door (
P.115) are
no longer met, a buzzer may
sound and the back door may
stop opening or closing. The
back door must then be oper-
ated manually. Take extra care
on an incline in this situation, as
the back door may move sud-
denly.
● On an incline, the back door
may suddenly shut after it
opens. Make sure the back door
is fully open and secure.

power back door may detect an
abnormality and automatic
operation may be stopped. In
this case, the back door must
then be operated manually.
Take extra care in this situation,
as the stopped back door may
suddenly open or close, causing
an accident.

obstacle
• When the battery voltage sud-
denly drops, such as when the
engine switch is turned to ON or
the engine is started during
automatic operation
● If a heavy object is attached to
the back door, the back door
may not operate, causing a mal-
function, or the back door may
suddenly shut again after being
opened, causing someone’s
hands, arms, head or neck to be
caught and injured. Do not
attach any accessories other
than genuine Toyota parts to the
back door.
■ Jam protection function
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may cause
death or serious injury.
● Never use any part of your body
to intentionally activate the jam
protection function.
● The jam protection function may
not work if something gets
caught just before the back door
fully closes. Be careful not to
get fingers caught or anything
else.
● The jam protection function may
not work depending on the
shape of the object that is
caught. Be careful not to catch
fingers or anything else.
