closed position.
Whatever the state of the power
switch, the back door closer oper-
ates.
■Power back door operating con-
ditions
The power back door can automati-
cally open and close under the fol-
lowing conditions:
●When the power back door sys-
tem is enabled. ( P.185)
●When the power switch is in ON,
in addition to the above for the
opening operations, the back door
operates for any of the following
conditions:
• Parking brake is engaged
• The brake pedal is depressed
• The shift position is in P.
■Operation of the power back
door
●A buzzer sounds and the emer-
gency flashers flash twice to indi-
cate that the back door is
opening/closing.
●When the power back door sys-
tem is disabled, the power back
door does not ope rate but it can
be opened and closed by hand.
●When the power back door auto-
matically opens, if an abnormality
due to people or objects is
detected, oper ation will stop.
■Jam protection function
Sensors are equipped on both sides
of the power back door. If anything
obstructs the power back door while
it is closing, the b ack door will auto-
matically operate in the opposite
direction or stop.
■Fall-down protection function
While the power back door is open-
ing automatically, applying exces-
sive force to it will stop the opening
operation to prevent the power back
door from suddenly shutting.
■Back door closing assist
If the back door is lowered manually
when the back door is stopped at an
open position, the back door will
fully close automatically.
■Back door reserve lock function
This function is a function which
reserves locking of all doors, before-
hand, when the power back door is
open.
When the following procedure is
performed, all the doors except the
power back door are locked and
then power back door will also be
locked at the same time it is closed.
1 Close all doors, except the back
door.
2 During the power back door clos-
ing operation, lock the doors
using the smart key system from
the side doors ( P.167) or the
wireless remote control.
(  P.167)
Operation signals will indicate that
all the doors have been closed and
locked ( P.168).
●If the electronic key is placed
inside the vehicle after starting a
close operation via the door
reserve lock function, the elec-
tronic key may become locked
inside the vehicle.
●If the power back door does not
fully close due to the operation of
the jam protection function, etc.,
while the back door is automati-
cally closing after a door reserve
lock operation is performed, the
door reserve lock function is can-
celed and all the doors will unlock.
●Before leaving the vehicle, make
sure that all the doors are closed
and locked.

tact with, or is covered by the fol-
lowing metallic objects
• Cards to which al uminum foil is
attached
• Cigarette boxes that have alumi- num foil inside
• Metallic wallets or bags
• Coins
• Hand warmers made of metal
• Media such as CDs and DVDs
●When another wireless key (that
emits radio waves) is being used
nearby
●When carrying the electronic key
together with the following devices
that emit radio waves
• Portable radio, cellular phone, cordless phone or other wireless
communication devices
• Another electronic key or a wire- less key that emits radio waves
• Personal computers or personal
digital assistants (PDAs)
• Digital audio players
• Portable game systems
●If window tint with a metallic con-
tent or metallic objects are
attached to the rear window
●When the electronic key is placed
near a battery charger or elec-
tronic devices
●When the vehicle is parked in a
pay parking spot where radio
waves are emitted.
■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is
within the effective range (detec-
tion areas), the system may not
operate properly in the following
cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door han-
dle, near the ground, or in a high
place when the doors are locked
or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instru- ment panel, luggage cover or
floor, or in the door pockets or
glove box when the EV system is
started or power switch modes are
changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on
top of the instrument panel or near
the door pockets when exiting the
vehicle. Depending on the radio
wave reception conditions, it may
be detected by the antenna out-
side the cabin and the door will
become lockable from the outside,
possibly trapping the electronic
key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is
within the effective range, the
doors may be locked or unlocked
by anyone. However, only the
doors detecting the electronic key
can be used to lo ck or unlock the
vehicle.
●Even if the electro nic key is not
inside the vehicle, it may be possi-
ble to start the EV system if the
electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large
amount of water splashes on the
door handle, such as in the rain or
in a car wash when the electronic
key is within the effective range.
(The doors will au tomatically be
locked after approximately 60 sec-
onds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
●If the wireless remote control is
used to lock the doors when the
electronic key is near the vehicle,
there is a possib ility that the door
may not be unlocked by the entry
function. (Use the wireless remote
control to unlock the doors.)
●Touching the door lock sensor
while wearing gloves may delay or
prevent lock operation. Remove
the gloves and touch the lock sen-
sor again.
●When the lock operation is per-
formed using the lock sensor, rec-
ognition signals will be shown up
to two consecutive times. After
this, no recognition signals will be
given.
●If the door handle becomes wet
while the electronic key is within
the effective range, the door may

WARNING
■Stopping the EV system in an
emergency
●If you want to stop the EV sys-
tem in an emergency while driv-
ing the vehicle, press and hold
the power switch for more than
2 seconds, or press it briefly 3
times or more in succession.
( P.505)
However, do not touch the
power switch while driving
except in an emergency. Turn-
ing the EV system off while driv-
ing will not cause a loss of
steering or braking control.
However, power assist for the
steering wheel may be lost mak-
ing it difficult to steer smoothly
before stopping the vehicle
depending on the remaining
charge in the 12-volt battery or
usage conditions. In this situa-
tion, you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is
safe to do so.
●If the power switch is operated
while the vehicle is running, a
warning message will be shown
on the multi-info rmation display
and a buzzer sounds.
●When restarting the EV system
after an emergency shutdown,
press the power switch shortly
and firmly.
■When parking
Exhaust gases include harmful
carbon monoxide (CO), which is
colorless and odorless. Observe
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause
exhaust gases to enter the vehicle
and may lead to an accident
caused by light-headedness, or
may lead to death or a serious
health hazard.
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a closed area,
such as a garage, stop the EV
system.
●Do not leave the vehicle with
the EV system operating for a
long time. If such a situation
cannot be avoided, park the
vehicle in an open space and
ensure that exhaust fumes do
not enter the vehicle interior.
●Do not leave the EV system
operating in an area with snow
build-up, or where it is snowing.
If snowbanks build up around
the vehicle while the EV system
is operating, exhaust gases
may collect and enter the vehi-
cle.
