”PWR DOOR” SWITCHES
These switches are used to open and
close the power sliding door. Push and
release one of the two ”PWR DOOR”
switches.
One switch is located on the instrument
panel on the driver ’s side. The other is
located on the right center pillar.
Opening and closing can be performed by
the ”PWR DOOR” switches under the fol-
lowing conditions:
The sliding door is unlocked.
The power sliding door system is on.
(The ”PWR DOOR OFF” switch is
pushed out.)
To open the power sliding door when
the ignition key is in the ”ON” position,
the transmission selector lever must be
in ”P”. (To close the sliding door from
the fully−opened or half−opened posi-
tion, the transmission selector lever is
not required to be in ”P”.)
CAUTION
If you shift the automatic transmis-
sion selector lever out of ”P” and
accelerate before the power sliding
door is closed completely, the sliding
door may reverse to the open posi-
tion. A child or others could fall out
of the vehicle and be injured. Always
make sure the power sliding door is
closed and latched before you start
driving.

on, if you pull the outside door handle or
push the inside lock release button to re-
lease the sliding door, it will then automat-
ically and completely open.
When the power sliding door system is
off, open the sliding door as usual.
CLOSING BY HAND
When the power sliding door system is
on, if you slide the door about 10 cm (4
in.) to the closing direction and let the
door go, it will automatically and com-
pletely close.
When the power sliding door system is
off, close the sliding door as usual.OPEN POWER SLIDING DOOR WARN-
ING LIGHT AND BUZZER
This light on the instrument panel comes
on if the power sliding door is not com-
pletely closed with the ignition key in the
”ON” position. (See ”Service reminder indi-
cators and warning buzzers” in Chapter
1−5.)
If you forcibly close the power sliding door
by hand when the ignition key is in the
”ON” position, the open power sliding door
warning light may stay on. In this case,
try opening and closing the power sliding
door again by hand slowly, or use one of
the ”PWR DOOR” switches or wireless
remote control transmitter.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock button to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.
Power rear quarter windows
The rear quarter windows can be oper-
ated with the ”REAR VENT” switch on
the instrument panel.
The power rear quarter windows work
when the ignition switch is in the ”ON”
position. However, if both front doors are
closed, they work for 45 seconds even
after the ignition switch is turned off. They
stop working when either front door is
opened.
Both the left and the right rear quarter
windows move as long as you hold the
switch.
To open: Push the right side of the switch.
To close: Push the left side of the switch.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the hands and
other parts of the body of all occu-
pants are kept completely inside the
vehicle before you close the power
rear quarter windows. If someone’s
hands get caught in a closing win-
dow, it could result in a serious
injury. When anyone closes the
power rear quarter windows, make
sure that he/she operates the win-
dows safely.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power rear quarter window
switch and get trapped in a window.
Unattended children can be involved
in serious accidents.
