ated.
The indicator lights on the switch tell you
which of the switches can be operated.
Jam protection function: During automat-
ic closing operation, the window stops and
opens halfway if something gets caught
between the window and body. If the window receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught.
CAUTION
To avoid death or serious injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in death or serious in-
jury. When anyone closes the power
windows, make sure he or she op-
erates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.

19
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he/she could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended person (particularly a small
child) can be involved in a serious
accident.
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the window is fully
closed.
If the battery is disconnected or run
down
The power window may not operate auto-
matically and the jam protection function
will not function correctly after you recon-
nect, replace or recharge the battery. At
this time, the indicator lights of the
switches will flash. In any of these cases,
you should normalize the power window
on each door.To normalize the power windows:
1. Push down the power window switch of each door and lower the windows half-
way.
2. Pull up the switch until the windows close and hold the switch for at least
one second.
Make sure that the windows open and
close automatically. If the power windows
cannot be operated properly, have them
checked by your Scion dealer.
CAUTION
Keep the back door closed while dri-
ving. If the back door is left open, it
may hit nearby objects while driving
or luggage may be unexpectedly
thrown out, causing an accident. In
addition, exhaust gases may enter the
vehicle, causing death or a serious
health hazard. Make sure to close the
back door before driving.
Before driving the vehicle, make sure
that the back door is fully closed. If
the back door is not fully closed, it
may open unexpectedly while driving,
causing an accident.
Never let anyone sit in the luggage
compartment. In the event of sudden
braking or a collision, they are sus-
ceptible to death or serious injury.
When children are in the vehicle, ob-
serve the following precautions. Fail-
ure to do so may result in death or
serious injury:
Do not leave children alone in the
luggage compartment. If a child is
accidentally locked in the luggage
compartment, they could overheat.

than genuine Toyota parts to the
back door. Such additional weight
on the back door may cause the
back door to fall closed again after
it is opened.
