CAUTION

■

Jam protection function (vehicle with a power back door)

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury.

●

Be careful while the jam protection function is operating. Being hit by the back

door may result in an injury.

●

If anything obstructs the power back door while it is closing, the jam protection

function will cause the back door to automatically operate in the opposite direc-

tion. However, be careful not to jam body parts in the doorframe, as an injury may

result.

●

Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection func-

tion.

●

The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before

the back door fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers 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.

●

The sensors located on the right and left sides of the power back door detect

obstructions and prevent them from becoming jammed in the door. Some objects

may not be detected depending on their shape or how they are jammed. Be care-

ful not to get fingers or other body parts caught in the back door while it is oper-

ating as this may result in a serious injury.
