 On the outside handle
Push the button on the key fob twice within five
seconds to open, close, or reverse a power

The key fob and the overhead console button will operate
the door when the door is locked. All other ways require
the sliding door to be unlocked. If the vehicle is equipped
with Passive Entry, pushing the button on the outside
handle or Hands-Free feature (if equipped) will unlock and
open the sliding door, with a valid Passive Entry key fob
within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the door handle.

Overhead Console Power Switches

There is a power sliding side door switch located on the
B-pillar trim panel on the driver’s and passenger’s side,
just in front of the power sliding door for the rear seat
passengers.
To operate the sliding door manually with the handles or
to avoid unintentional operation of the power sliding doors
from the rear seats, push the power sliding door power off
button, located in the overhead console, to remove power
to the handles and buttons just inside the sliding doors.
The power off LED, in the overhead console, will be lit
when the handles are manual. When the LED is lit,
pushing the power sliding door power off button will return
the handles to power operation.
NOTE:
 If anything obstructs the power sliding side door while
it is closing or opening, the door will automatically
reverse to the closed or open position and an audible
tone will sound, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
The turn signals will flash with sliding door movements.
