SLIDING DOOR OPERATION
Manual door operation
If equipped with a Power Sliding Door (PSD), turn the Power Door
Lockout control on the overhead console to the OFF position. Refer to
Disabling Power Operation of the PSDin this chapter for more
information.
Note:Before unlatching the left side door, verify that the fuel fill door is
closed. The left hand door will not open if the fuel door is open.
Slide the door carefully in a controlled manner to the full open position.
At the end of travel, firmly push the door against the bump stop to
engage the hold open mechanism to restrain the door. When operating
the door on a gradient, special care should be taken to manually control
the opening and closing speed of the door.
If the door is allowed to slide open or closed unrestrained,
personal injury or damage to the door could result.
When closing the sliding door, keep the head, hands and other body
parts of vehicle occupants out of the path of the closing door. Slide the
door closed in a careful, controlled manner.
When closing the sliding doors, you should verify they are free of
obstructions and ensure that children and/or pets are not in the
proximity of the sliding door openings. Injury could result if body parts
are caught or pinched in an uncontrolled sliding door.
Manual door operation when vehicle is stopped or parked on a
downhill grade
In some cases it may be necessary
to have someone hold the door
while rear seat passengers are
entering or exiting the vehicle. The
hold open mechanism will restrain
the door open when the vehicle is
parked on moderate downhill
grades.On more severe grades,
the operator should ensure that
the open door is stable and
secure against the stop, before
allowing passengers to enter or exit the vehicle or before
loading/unloading cargo.

Vehicle operation with the door in the open position is not
recommended.Abrupt vehicle acceleration or deceleration could cause
the door to move suddenly and could result in injury or damage to the
door.
If the vehicle is parked on a downhill grade, the door could slam
shut and could result in injury or damage to the door. Ensure
that the open door is secure against the stop before allowing
passengers to enter or exit the vehicle.
Power Sliding Door (PSD) (if equipped)
With this option, you can open and close the sliding door(s) with the
controls inside your vehicle.
Opening and closing the PSD
The sliding door must be unlocked for the PSD to power open.
The PSD will operate without the key in the ignition. The transaxle must
be in PARK to open the PSD, when the key is in the ignition and turned
to the RUN position.
The fuel filler door must be closed
for the left door to operate. The
Power Door Lockout Control is
located in the overhead console.
When opening or closing the sliding doors, you should verify
they are free of obstructions and ensure that children and/or
pets are not in the proximity of the sliding door openings. Injury could
result if body parts are caught or pinched in an uncontrolled sliding
door.
With the Power Door Lockout Control in the ON position, either sliding
door can be opened or closed by:
•pushing and releasing the
overhead console right or left
hand control. Pressing this
control will also simultaneously
unlock all doors.

•pushing and releasing the right or
left hand second row passenger
control. The control(s) are
located on the trim panel in front
of the sliding door.
•manually pulling the inside or
outside sliding door handle.
•by manually moving the door
when the door is in the open position. Manually pull the door about 6
inches in the desired direction of travel. The power door assist will
take over and complete the open or close operation.
•operating the remote transmitter. Refer toRemote Entry Systemin
theLocks and securitychapter. Operating the transmitter will also
simultaneously unlock the doors.
Pressing any of the switches, overhead console, second row passenger, or
remote transmitter while the door is moving will cause the door to either
reverse direction or stop depending on the position and direction of
movement of the door.
Disabling PSD power operation
Pressing the Power Door Lockout Control to the OFF position prevents
power operation of the PSD using the rear seat control(s), inside or
outside handle or by manually moving the door. With the PSD rear
controls disabled, the door(s) can be opened manually with the inside or
outside handles. With the Power Door Lockout control in the OFF
position, the overhead console right and left hand controls and the
Remote Entry System remain functional. Disabling the PSD may be
desirable to prevent power operation of the door by rear seat passengers
or if manual operation of the door is desired or necessary when the
vehicle is stopped or parked on a steep downhill grade.
Refer toManual Operation of the Sliding Doorin this chapter for more
information.
With the child safety lock engaged, the inside handle operation will
always be disabled regardless of the position of the Power Door Lockout
control. SeeSliding Door Child Safety Lockin this section for more
information. The trim mounted rear seat control and the outside handle
remain functional for power operation.
Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the Power Sliding Door while it is power closing or
opening, the door will automatically reverse or stop depending on the
position of the door, provided it meets sufficient resistance.

6. Repeat steps 3–5 for opposite door.
If the door still does not operate correctly:
7. Ensure the ignition is in the OFF position
8. Remove the PSD fuse (fuse #11) from the passenger fuse panel and
leave it out for thirty (30) seconds. Refer to the chapter on Fuses and
Relays. Refer toFuses and relaysin theRoadside emergencies

control on the overhead console
or the remote to open the door.

Cleaning the Sliding Door Contacts
The sliding door contact switches
provide electrical information
between the sliding door and body,
which control the power locks and
the power sliding door (if
equipped). Care should be taken
while using waxes or polishes to
avoid contaminating the electrical
contact surfaces. Beverage and
other spills on the surfaces should
be cleaned immediately with a soap
and water solution and dried with a clean towel. Never use any abrasives
or dielectric grease on the contact surfaces. Periodically wiping the
surfaces with a soft clean cloth or paper towel will help remove oxidation
due to normal use. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for
additional information.
