3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

WARNING

⚫

The back door may suddenly shut if
it is not opened fully. It is more diffi-

cult to open or close the back door

on an incline than on a level sur-

face, 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 edge of the door is

held when fully closing 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 accident.

⚫

If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may
suddenly shut again after being opened, causing 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 recommended.
