'02 Rav4_U (L/O 0108) Hood When all the side doors and back door are unlocked simultaneously with a key, the interior light comes on for about 15 seconds and then fades out, even if the door is not opened. (For further information, see "Interior lights" on page 82 in Section 1-4.) Operating the power door lock switch or wireless remote control transmitter simultaneously locks or unlocks the back door. (See "Side doors" on page 12 in this section.) When closing the back door, make sure it is fully closed. See "Luggage stowage precautions" on page 164 in Section 2 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 stop, tail 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. To open the hood: 1. Pull the hood lock release lever. The hood will spring up slightly. CAUTION Before driving, be sure that the hood is closed and securely locked. Otherwise, the hood may open unexpectedly while driving and an accident may occur. 22 2002 MY RAV4_U (OM42503U)
