WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the back door is fully closed. If the back door is not fully closed, it may

open unexpectedly while driving and hit near-by objects or luggage in the luggage

compartment may be thrown out, causing an accident.

●

Do not allow children to play in the luggage compartment.

If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could have heat

exhaustion or other injuries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.

Doing so may cause the back door to open unexpectedly, or cause the child’s hands,

head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.

■

Important points while driving

●

Keep the back door closed while driving.

If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects or luggage in the luggage com-

partment may be thrown out, causing an accident.

●

Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden braking,

sudden swerving or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.

■

Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death or serious

injury.

●

Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the back door before opening it.

Failure to do so may cause the back door to suddenly shut again after it is opened.

●

When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure the sur-

rounding area is safe.

●

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.

●

Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it may move

abruptly in strong wind.

●

The back door may suddenly shut if it is not

opened fully. It is more difficult to open or

close the back door on an incline than on a

level surface, so beware of the back door

unexpectedly opening or closing by itself.

Make sure that the back door is fully open and

secure before using the luggage compart-

ment.

denly shut closed again after being opened, causing someone’s hands, head or neck

to be caught and injured. When installing an accessory part to the back door, using a

genuine Lexus part is recommended.

Note for the entry function

●

Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection areas), the system

may not operate properly in the following cases:
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the

ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.

• The electronic key is near the ground or in a high place, or too close to the rear

bumper center when the back door is opened.

• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, luggage room, floor, or in the door

pockets or glove box when the hybrid system is started or 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 wave reception 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, the doors may be locked or

unlocked by anyone.

●

Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to start the hybrid

system if the electronic key is near the window.

●

The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in

the rain or in a car wash when the electronic key is within the effective range. (The door

will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not

opened and closed.)

●

If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the electronic key is near

the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the entry func-

tion. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)

●

Touching the door lock sensor while wearing gloves may delay or prevent lock opera-

tion. Remove the gloves and touch the lock sensor again.

●

When the lock operation is performed using the lock sensor, recognition signals will be

shown up to two consecutive times. After this, no recognition signals will be given.

●

If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the effective range,

the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6 ft. (2 m) or more

separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed. (Take care to ensure that

the key is not stolen.)

119

●

If the electronic key is inside the vehicle and a door handle becomes wet during a car

wash, a message may be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer will

sound outside the vehicle. To turn off the alarm, lock all the doors.

●

The lock sensor may not work properly if it comes into contact with ice, snow, mud, etc.

Clean the lock sensor and attempt to operate it again, or use the lock sensor on the

lower part of the door handle.

●

A sudden approach to the effective range or door handle may prevent the doors from

being unlocked. In this case, return the door handle to the original position and check

that the doors unlock before pulling the door handle again.

●

If there is another electronic key in the detection area, it may take slightly longer to

unlock the doors after the door handle is gripped.
