WARNING
⚫The back door may suddenly shut if

being caught.
⚫Do not pull on the back door damper stay to close the back door, and do not
hang on the back door damper stay.
Doing so may cause hands to be caught or the back door damper stay to
break, causing an accident.
⚫If a bicycle carrier or similar heavy object is attached to the back door, it may
suddenly shut again after being open ed, causing someone’s hands, head or
neck to be caught and injured. When in stalling an accessory part to the back
door, using a genuine Toyo ta part is recommended.

the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer immediately.
