Page 109 of 415
Each power sliding door has an auto-
reverse f eature. If a door meets
resistance while closing, it will beep
three times and automatically
reverse direction. However, the door
may not immediately reverse
direction (like some elevator doors),
and the f orce of a closing door may
cause bruising or discomf ort. Always
make sure passengers and any
objects are well away f rom the power
sliding doors bef ore closing them.
Also check that passengers,
especially children, do not have their
hands on the edge of the sliding door
or on the door pillar. The auto-
reverse f eature stops working when
the door is about to latch so the
motor can pull the door shut.
With the sliding door f ully-closed or
f ully-open, pull the outside or inside
door handle, then release it.
Once the door begins to move, the
door handles cannot be used to stop
the door. If you need to stop the door
f or any reason, use the dashboard
switches or the remote transmitter. Each sliding door has a lock knob
under the inside door handle. Slide
the lock knob f orward to unlock, and
backward to lock the doors. You can
also use the lock and unlock buttons
on the remote transmitter.
