481-1. For safe use
Exhaust gas precau-
tions
Harmful substance to the 
human body is included in 
exhaust gases if inhaled.
WA R N I N G
Exhaust gases contain harmful 
carbon monoxide (CO), which is 
colorless and odorless. Observe 
the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause 
exhaust gases enter the vehicle 
and may lead to an accident 
caused by light-headedness, or 
may lead to death or a serious 
health hazard.
■Important points while driving
●Keep the back door closed.
●If you smell exhaust gases in 
the vehicle even when the back 
door is closed, open the side 
windows and have the vehicle 
inspected at your Toyota dealer 
as soon as possible.
■When parking
●If the vehicle is in a poorly venti-
lated area or a  closed area, 
such as a garage, stop the 
engine.
●Do not leave the vehicle with 
the engine running 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 engine running 
in an area with snow build-up, 
or where it is snowing. If snow-
banks build up around the vehi-
cle while the engine is running, 
exhaust gases may collect and 
enter the vehicle.
■Exhaust pipe
The exhaust system needs to be 
checked periodically. If there is a 
hole or crack caused by corro-
sion, damage to a joint or abnor-
mal exhaust noise, be sure to 
have the vehicle inspected and 
repaired by your Toyota dealer.

Before driving
WA R N I N G
■Back door closer
●In the event that the back door 
is left slightly open, the back 
door closer will automatically 
close it to the fully closed posi-
tion. It takes several seconds 
before the back door closer 
begins to operate. Be careful 
not to catch fingers or anything 
else in the back door, as this 
may cause bone fractures or 
other serious injuries.
●Use caution when using the 
back door closer as it still oper-
ates when the power back door 
system is canceled.
■Power back door
Observe the following precautions 
when operating the power back 
door. 
Failure to do so may cause death 
or serious injury.
●Check the safety of the sur-
rounding area to make sure 
there are no obstacles or any-
thing that could cause any of 
your belongings to get caught.
●If anyone is in the vicinity, make 
sure they are safe and let them 
know that the back door is 
about to open or close.
●If the power back door system is 
turned off while the back door is 
operating automatically, the 
automatic operation is stopped. 
The back door then has to be 
operated manually. Take extra 
care when on an incline, as the 
back door may open or close 
unexpectedly.
●If the operating conditions of the 
power back door are no longer 
met, a buzzer may sound and 
the back door may stop opening 
or closing. The  back door then 
has to be operated manually. 
Take extra care when on an 
incline, as the back door may 
open or close abruptly.
●On an incline, the back door 
may suddenly shut after it 
opens. Make sure the back door 
is fully open and secure.
●In the following si tuations, the 
power back door may detect an 
abnormality and automatic 
operation may be stopped. In 
this case, the back door has to 
be operated manually. Take 
extra care when on an incline, 
as the back door may open or 
close abruptly.
• When the back door contacts an  obstacle
• When the battery voltage sud- denly drops, such as when the 
engine switch is turned to ON or 
the engine is started during 
automatic operation
●If a bicycle carr ier or similar 
heavy object is attached to the 
back door, it may suddenly shut 
again after being opened, caus-
ing someone’s hands, head or 
neck to be caught and injured. 
When installing an accessory 
part to the back door, using a 
genuine Toyota part is recom-
mended.
