WARNING
Operating Power Sliding Doors with

Opening or closing the power sliding
doors with the keyless entry system
transmitter while not watching the
doors move is dangerous. People or
animals could be injured when the
doors open along the rear sides and
back to the rear fender, or in closing.
Allowing children to use the
transmitter could result in serious
injuries despite the jam-safe feature.
Always be sure that the doorway and
rear fender area are clear before
activating the power sliding doors and
be particularly careful when using the
keyless entry system transmitter. Be
sure to view the doors opening or
closing and do not operate a door on
either side if you can't fully see it.
Always make sure that you watch the
power sliding doors close completely
and be sure your children do not have
access to the transmitter.
When a power sliding door is completely
closed/opened and a power sliding door
open/close transmitter button is pressed,
the door opens/closes after the beep
sounds.

completely closed, pressing the
power sliding door open/close
transmitter button will open the door
completely.

sliding doors while they are opening/
closing.

more will trigger the alarm for about 2
minutes and 30 seconds, and the
following will occur:
lThe horn sounds intermittently.

WARNING
Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving a child or an animal
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. In hot weather,
temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death. Always take all
children and animals with you or
leave a responsible person with them.
Keys and Children:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. They could play with power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move. Don't leave the
keys in your vehicle with children and
keep them in a place where your
children will not find or play with
them.
Unlocked Doors:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident. So keep all doors locked
when driving.

take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle unattended.

WARNING
Operating Power Sliding Doors:
Opening or closing the power sliding
doors while not watching the doors
move is dangerous. People or animals
could be injured when the doors open
along the rear sides and back to the

completely and, if left unnoticed, could
result in serious injury or death if an
occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle.
Always be sure that the doorway and
rear fender area is clear before
activating the power sliding doors. Be

opening or closing and make sure that
you watch them close completely.

death if an occupant were to fall out of
the vehicle. Occupants in the vehicle
will also not have full protection in a
collision. Always be sure the doors
completely close before you shift into
gear and move the vehicle.
Children and the Power Sliding Door
Switches:
Allowing children to operate the
power sliding door switches and the
