You must reset the electric sliding door if there
has been a malfunction or an interruption in the
voltage supply (
Ypage 78).
iPlease note, if the child-proof locks have
been activated, you cannot open the sliding
door from the inside. You can only open a
sliding door from the inside if the child-proof
locks have not been activated. Further infor-
mation can be found under "Child-proof locks

Obstacle detection with reversing
feature
The sliding door is equipped with automatic
obstacle detection with reversing feature. If a
solid object blocks or restricts the sliding door
during the automatic closing process, the slid-
ing door opens again automatically. If the sliding
door is obstructed during the opening proce-
dure, it moves back a few centimeters in the
opposite direction and stops.
Automatic obstacle detection with reversing
feature is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attentiveness when closing the electrical
sliding door.
If an obstacle is detected, the display shows the
Left-hand Electric Sliding Door
