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.
