CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power back
window, always make sure there is
nobody around the power back win-
dow. You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
back window, make sure he or she
operates the window safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
back window switch without super-
vision. Use the window lock switch
to prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switch.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power back window switch
and get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Keep the back window closed while
driving. This not only keeps the
luggage from being thrown out but
also prevents exhaust gases from
entering the vehicle.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in a serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.
To open the back window with the wire-
less remote control transmitter, see
“—Opening back window” on page 18 in
this Section.
To open the back door, push up the
back door opener.
The back door can be opened when the
vehicle is stopped.
If the back door opener does not operate
except when the battery is disconnected
or run down, contact your Toyota dealer.
If the battery is disconnected or run
down, the back door does not open after
you reconnect, replace or recharge the
battery. In any of these cases, you should
normalize the back door.
