KEYS AND DOORS NOTICE To prevent damage to the back door dampers, do not apply any force, paint or let any other foreign matter on them. 11R054 When closing the back door, use the inside handle for easier reach to the back door. To close the back door, lower it and press down on it. After closing the back door, try pulling it up to make sure it is securely closed. See "Luggage stowage precautions" on page 69 for precautions to observe in loading luggage. CAUTION D Keep the back door closed while driving. This not only keeps the luggage from being thrown out but also prevents exhaust gases from entering the vehicle. D If the open back door hides the rear stop and tail lights or rear turn signal lights while you are parked, other road users must be warned of the presence of your vehicle by a warning triangle or other device. 2002 MY RX300_U (OM48416U) 21
