Before driving the vehicle, make

sure that the back door is fully

closed. If the back door is not

fully closed, it may open unex-

pectedly while driving, causing

an accident.

●

Never let anyone sit in the lug-

gage compartment. In the event

of sudden braking or a collision,

they are susceptible to death or

serious injury.

■

When children are in the vehi-

cle

●

Do not allow children to play in

the luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

WARNING

●

Do not allow a child to open or

close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back

door to move unexpectedly, or

cause the child’s hands, head,

or neck to be caught by the

closing back door.

■

Operating the back door

●

Remove any heavy loads, such

as snow and ice, from the back

door before opening it. Failure

to do so may cause the back

door to suddenly shut again

after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the

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 back door is

about to open or close.

●

Use caution when opening or

closing the back door in windy

weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The back door may suddenly

shut if it is not opened fully. It is

more difficult to open or close

the back door on an incline than

on a level surface, so beware of

the back door unexpectedly

opening or closing by itself.

Make sure that the back door is

fully open and secure before

using the luggage compartment.

●

When closing the back door,

take extra care to prevent your

fingers etc. from being caught.

●

When closing the back door,

make sure to press it lightly on

its outer surface. If the back

door handle is used to fully

close the back door, it may

result in hands or arms being

caught.

●

Do not pull on the back door

damper stay to close the back

door, and do not hang on the

back door damper stay. Doing

so may cause hands to be

caught or the back door damper

stay to break, causing an acci-

dent.

●

If a bicycle carrier or similar

heavy object is attached to the

back door, it may suddenly shut

again after being opened, caus-

ing someone’s hands, head or

neck to be caught and injured.

When installing an accessory

part to the back door, using a

genuine Toyota part is recom-

mended.

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is

within the effective range (detec-

tion areas), the system may not

operate properly in the following

cases:

• The electronic key is too close to

the window or outside door han-

dle, near the ground, or in a high

place when the doors are locked

or unlocked.

• The electronic key is on the instru-

ment panel, luggage cover or

floor, or in the door pockets or

glove box when the engine is

started or engine switch modes

are changed.

●

Do not leave the electronic key on

top of the instrument panel or near

the door pockets when exiting the

vehicle. Depending on the radio

wave reception conditions, it may

be detected by the antenna out-

side the cabin and the door will

become lockable from the outside,

possibly trapping the electronic

key inside the vehicle.

●

As long as the electronic key is

within the effective range, the

doors may be locked or unlocked

by anyone. However, only the

doors detecting the electronic key

can be used to unlock the vehicle.

●

Even if the electronic key is not

inside the vehicle, it may be possi-

ble to start the engine if the elec-

tronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may unlock or lock if a

large amount of water splashes on

the door handle, such as in the

rain or in a car wash when the

electronic key is within the effec-

tive range. (The doors will auto-

matically be locked after

approximately 60 seconds if the

doors are not opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is

used to lock the doors when the

electronic key is near the vehicle,

there is a possibility that the door

may not be unlocked by the entry

function. (Use the wireless remote

control to unlock the doors.)

●

Touching the door lock or unlock

sensor while wearing gloves may

prevent lock or unlock operation.

●

When the lock operation is per-

formed using the lock sensor, rec-

ognition signals will be shown up

to two consecutive times. After

this, no recognition signals will be

given.

●

If the door handle becomes wet

while the electronic key is within

the effective range, the door may

lock and unlock repeatedly. In that

case, follow the following correc-

tion procedures to wash the vehi-

cle:

• Place the electronic key in a loca-

tion 6 ft. (2 m) or more away from

the vehicle. (Take care to ensure

that the key is not stolen.)

• Set the electronic key to bat-

tery-saving mode to disable the

smart key system. (



P.104)

●

If the electronic key is inside the

vehicle and a door handle

becomes wet during a car wash, a

message may be shown on the

multi-information display and a

buzzer will sound outside the vehi-

cle. To turn off the alarm, lock all

the doors.

●

The lock sensor may not work

properly if it comes into contact

with ice, snow, mud, etc. Clean

the lock sensor and attempt to

operate it again.

●

A sudden handle operation or a

handle operation immediately

after entering the effective range

may prevent the doors from being

unlocked. Touch the door unlock

sensor and check that the doors

are unlocked before pulling the

door handle again.

●

If there is another electronic key in

the detection area, it may take

slightly longer to unlock the doors

after the door handle is gripped.
