F EQUIPPED

The Unlock Doors Automatically On Exit feature unlocks all
of the vehicle doors when any door is opened. This will occur
only after the gear selector has been placed into the PARK
position, after the vehicle has been driven (the gear selector

Úpage 157.
MANUAL SLIDING SIDE DOOR
The sliding door may be opened from the inside or the
outside. Pull outward on the exterior handle to open the
sliding door. The sliding door inside handle functions by
rocking forward and back. Rocking the handle backwards
opens the door and rocking forward releases the hold
open latch in order to close the door.
NOTE:If equipped with power sliding doors, using the manual
door handle will activate the power opening/closing
function. Allow the door to open or close fully on its own,
without forcing it.

Side Door Handle And Lock Functions

To keep your door operating properly, observe the
following guidelines:
 Always open the door smoothly.
 Avoid high impacts against the door stop when opening
the door. This is very important when your vehicle is
parked on an incline as the door will slide faster in the
downhill direction.
 There is a hold-open latch that is activated when the
sliding door is fully opened. This latch will keep your
sliding door open on any incline. To close the sliding
door after the hold-open latch is activated, you must
rock the inside handle forward or pull outward on the
exterior handle.
Always make sure that the sliding door is fully latched
anytime the vehicle is in motion.
NOTE:The left side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel
door is open. If attempted, a message will appear in the
instrument cluster display, and the door will automatically
return to the closed position.
