Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
lRemove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door
before opening it. Failure to do so may cause the back door fall closed
again after it is opened.
l When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
l 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.
l Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.

Women who are pregnant should position
the lap belt as low as possible over the
hips in the same manner as other occu-

securely because they are not long
enough, a personalized seat belt
extender is available from your Toyota
dealer free of charge.
