WARNING
■Using the trunk
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resu lting in seri-
ous injury.
● Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk li d before
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenl y 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 t hem know that
the trunk is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weat her as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts t o the trunk
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly
shut again after it is opened.
● 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 fingers, etc., from
being caught.
● When closing the trunk lid, make sure to
press it lightly on its outer surface. If the

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 w ave recep-
tion conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside 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, th e doors may be
locked or unlocked by anyone. However, only the doors detecting the elec-
tronic key can be used to unlock the vehicle.
● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start
the fuel cell system if the electronic key is near the window.
● The doors may unlock or lock if a large amount of water splashe s on the
door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash when the elec tronic key is
within the effective range. (The doors will automatically be lo cked after
approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when t he electronic
key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door m ay not be
unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote contro l to unlock
the doors.)
● Touching the door lock or unlock sensor while wearing gloves ma y prevent
lock or unlock operation.
