NOTE:The power sliding side door must be unlocked
before the power sliding door switches will operate.

it is closing or opening, the door will automatically
reverse to the closed or open position, provided it meets
sufficient resistance.

door switch is pushed. To close the door, wait until it is
fully open and then push the switch again.
