3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors and trunk

Trunk

The trunk can be opened using the 
trunk opener, entry function or 
wireless remote control.

WARNING

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may result in death or 

serious injury.

■

Before driving

●

Make sure that the trunk lid is fully 

closed. If the trunk lid is not fully 

closed, it may open unexpectedly 

while driving and hit near-by objects or 

luggage in the trunk may be thrown 

out, causing an accident.

●

Do not allow children to play in the 

trunk.

If a child is accidentally locked in the 

trunk, they could suffer from heat 

exhaustion, suffocation or other inju-

ries.

●

Do not allow a child to open or close 

the trunk lid.

Doing so may cause the trunk lid to 

open unexpectedly, or cause the 

child’s hands, head, or neck to be 

caught by the closing trunk lid.

■

Important points while driving

Never let anyone sit in the trunk. In the 

event of sudden braking or a collision, 

they are susceptible to death or serious 

injury.

■

Using the trunk

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the 

body to be caught, resulting in serious 

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.

●

The trunk lid may suddenly shut if it is 

not opened fully. It is more difficult to 

open or close the trunk lid on an 

incline 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 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. If 

the trunk handle is used to fully close 

the trunk lid, it may result in hands or 

arms being caught.

●

Do not attach any accessories other 

than genuine Lexus parts to the trunk 

lid. Such additional weight on the trunk 

lid may cause the lid to suddenly shut 

again after it is opened.
