WARNING
■To prevent an accident
Observe the following precautions 
while driving the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in a 
door opening and an occupant 
being thrown out of the vehicle, 
resulting in death  or serious injury.
●Ensure that all doors are prop-
erly closed and locked.
●Do not pull the inside door han-
dle while driving.
Be especially careful of the front 
doors, as the doors may be 
opened even if the inside lock 
buttons are in the locked posi-
tion.
●Set the rear door child-protector 
locks when children are seated 
in the rear seats. 
■When opening or closing a 
door
Check the surroundings of the 
vehicle such as whether the vehi-
cle is on an incline, whether there 
is enough space for a door to 
open and whether a strong wind 
is blowing. When opening or clos-
ing the door, hold the door handle 
tightly to prepare for any unpre-
dictable movement.
■When using the wireless 
remote control or the key and 
operating the power win-
dows or moon roof (if 
equipped)
Operate the power windows or 
moon roof after ch ecking to make 
sure that there is no possibility of 
any passenger having any of their 
body parts caught in the windows 
or moon roof. Also, do not allow 
children to operate the wireless 
remote control or the key. It is 
possible for children and other 
passengers to get caught in the 
power windows or moon roof.

WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in 
death or serious injury.
■Before driving
●Make sure that the trunk lid is 
fully closed. If the trunk lid is not 
fully closed, it may open unex-
pectedly 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, suffoca-
tion 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.
■Important points while driving
Never let anyone sit in the trunk. 
In the event of sudden braking or 
a collision, they are susceptible to 
death or serious injury.
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause parts 
of the body to be caught, resulting 
in serious injury.

WARNING
●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 surrounding 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.
●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 unexpectedly 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 fin-
gers etc. from being caught.
●When closing the trunk lid, 
make sure to press it lightly on 
its outer surface.
●Do not attach any accessories 
other than genuine Toyota parts 
to the trunk lid. Such additional 
weight on the trunk lid may 
cause the lid to suddenly shut 
again after it is opened.
