3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors  
WARNING  
Using the trunk  
Observe the following precautions.  
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-  
ous injury.  
Remove any heavy loads, such as snow and ice, from the trunk lid before  
opening it. Failure to do so may cause the trunk lid to suddenly shut again  
after it is opened.  
When opening or closing the trunk lid, thoroughly check to make sure the  
surrounding area is safe.  
If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that  
the trunk is about to open or close.  
Use caution when opening or closing the trunk lid in windy weather as it  
may move abruptly in strong wind.  
On an incline it is more difficult to open or close the trunk lid than on a level  
surface, so beware of the trunk lid unexpectedly opening or closing by  
itself. Make sure that the trunk lid is fully open and secure before using the  
trunk.  
When opening the trunk lid, take care  
so that it does not hit anyone in the face  
or any other part of the body.  
When closing the trunk lid, take extra  
care to prevent your fingers etc. from  
being caught.  
When closing the trunk lid, make sure to  
press it lightly on its outer surface.  
Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the trunk  
lid. Such additional weight on the trunk lid may cause the lid to suddenly  
shut again after it is opened.
