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
theDisabling power operation of the PSDsection in 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.

Do not operate vehicle with the door in the open position.
Abrupt vehicle acceleration or deceleration could cause the door
to move suddenly and could result in personal 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
following controls inside your vehicle.
•overhead console button
•key fob button
•second row passenger control switch
•inside and outside release handle
Opening and closing the PSD
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 ON position.
The sliding door must be unlocked for the PSD to power open from the
rear trim switches and the inside or outside PSD handles. The fuel filler
door must be closed in order to avoid damage to it when the left sliding
door is opened.
The Power Door Lockout Control is
located in the overhead console.
With the control in the OFF
position, power operation is disabled
from both PSD handles and from
both second row passenger
switches. The overhead console switch and Key fob will operate the
power doors regardless of the position of the lockout switch.
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.

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

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 to theManual operation of the sliding doorsection in 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. Refer to theSliding door child safety locksection in this
chapter for more information. The trim mounted rear seat control and
the outside handle remain functional for power operation.

the following conditions:
•a low voltage or dead battery
•the door is left opened for more than 6 hours
•the battery is disconnected
•the PSD Passenger compartment fuse panel fuse (fuse #11) is
removed or blown. Refer toFuses and relaysin theRoadside
