Make sure that the trunk lid is fully closed. If the trunk lid is not fully closed, it may

open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or luggage in the trunk may

be thrown out, causing an accident.

Do not allow children to play in the trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked in the trunk, they could suffer from heat exhaustion,

suffocation or other injuries.

Do not allow a child to open or close the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk lid to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands,

head, or neck to be caught by the closing trunk lid.

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the event of sudden braking or a collision, they are

susceptible to death or serious injury.

WARNING

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in serious injury.

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before opening it.

Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again after it is opened.

When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the surround-

ing area is safe.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is

about to open or close.

Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. Such

additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut again after it is

opened.

The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is not

opened fully. It is more difficult to open or

close the trunk lid on an incline than on a level

surface, so beware of the trunk lid unexpect-

edly opening or closing by itself. Make sure

that the trunk lid is fully open and secure

before using the trunk.

When closing the trunk lid, take extra care to

prevent your fingers etc. from being caught.

When closing the trunk lid, make sure to

press it lightly on its outer surface. If the trunk

grip is used to fully close the trunk lid, it may

result in hands or arms being caught.

3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

WARNING

Trunk easy closer

Power trunk opener and closer (If equipped)

Observe the following precautions when operating the power trunk opener and closer.

Failure to do so may cause serious injury.

Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obstacles or any-

thing that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.

If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that the trunk is

about to open or close.

If the trunk closer switch is pressed while the trunk lid is opening during automatic

operation, the trunk lid stops opening. Take extra care when on an incline, as the trunk

lid may open or close suddenly.

On an incline, the trunk lid may suddenly shut after it opens automatically. Make sure

the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the trunk.

In the following situations, the power trunk opener and closer may detect an abnor-

mality and automatic operation may be stopped. In this case, the trunk lid has to be

operated manually. Take extra care in this situation, as the stopped trunk lid may sud-

denly shut, causing an accident.
• When the trunk lid contacts an obstacle

• When the battery voltage suddenly drops, such as when the engine switch is

turned to IGNITION ON mode or the engine is started during automatic opera-

tion

Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk lid. The

power trunk opener and closer may not operate, causing itself to malfunction, or the

trunk lid may suddenly shut again after it is opened.

Jam protection function (vehicles with power trunk opener and closer)

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause serious injury.

Never use any part of your body to intentionally activate the jam protection function.

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

trunk lid fully closes. Be careful not to catch fingers or anything else in the trunk lid.

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.

In the event that the trunk lid is left slightly open,

the trunk easy closer will automatically close it

to the fully closed position. It takes several sec-

onds before the trunk easy closer begins to

operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-

thing else in the trunk lid, as this may cause

bone fractures or other serious injuries.
