1-3. Opening, closing and locking the doors CAUTION l The back door may fall 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. l When closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fingers etc. from being caught. l 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. l 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. l Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the back door. Such additional weight on the back door may cause the back door to fall closed again after it is opened. n Back door closer l In the event that the back door is left slightly open, the back door closer will automatically close it to the fully closed position. It takes several seconds before the back door closer begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else in the back door, as this may cause bone fractures or other serious injuries. l Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when the power back door system is cancelled. 72
