CAUTION
■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 sur-
rounding 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.
●Vehicles without power trunk opener and
closer: The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it
is not opened fully. It is more difficult to

than on a level surface, so beware of the
trunk lid unexpectedly opening or closing
by itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is fully
open and secure before using the trunk.

●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.
■Trunk easy closer (vehicles with power trunk opener and closer)
●When closing the trunk lid, take extra care
to prevent your fingers etc. from being
caught.
●Vehicles without power trunk opener and

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.
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 seconds before the trunk easy closer
begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fin-
gers or anything else in the trunk lid, as this
may cause bone fractures or other serious
injuries.
