■Back door closer
●In the event that the back door is
left slightly open, the back door closer will automatically close it to the fully closed position. It takes
several seconds before the back door closer begins to operate. Be careful not to catch fingers or any-
thing else in the back door, as this may cause bone fractures or other serious injuries.
●Use caution when using the back door closer as it still operates when
the power back door system is can- celed.

area to make sure there are no obstacles or anything 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 back door is about to open or close
●If the power back door system is turned off while the back door is
operating automatically, the auto- matic operation is stopped. The back door then has to be operated
manually. Take extra care when on an incline, as the back door may open or close unexpectedly.

5-1. Before driving
Driving
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■If the EV system overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the EV system overheating. If the
EV system coolant temperature
gauge indicates that the EV system
is overheating, turn the air condi-
tioning off immediately, leave the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
place. ( P.549)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift position to P.
WARNING
F o l l o w a l l t h e i n s t r u c t i o n s d e s c r i b e d i n this section. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded. ( P.554)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long
declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How- ever, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long downhill grades.

●Do not use the following systems when trailer towing.
• PCS (Pre-Collision System)
• LTA (Lane Tracing Assist)
