1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors CAUTION l In the following situations, the power back door may detect an abnormality and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the back door has to be operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped back door may suddenly fall, causing an accident. • When the back door contacts an obstacle • When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is turned to the "ON" position or the engine is started during automatic operation l Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the back door. The power back door may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the back door may fall closed again after it is opened. l In cases such as when replacing tires, make sure to turn off the power back door main switch. Failure to do so may cause the back door to operate unintentionally if the power back door switch is accidentally touched, resulting in hands and fingers being caught and injured. n Jam protection function (vehicles with power back door) Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause serious injury. l Although the back door stops closing when the jam protection function detects an object, take extra care as you may still be injured if part of your body is already caught. l Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection function. l 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. l Sensors installed on the right and left edges of the power back door detect an object to prevent it from being caught. Depending on its shape, however, the sensors may not detect the object. When opening or closing the back door, take extra care to prevent your fingers etc. from being caught. 54
