DOOR
To close the fully−opened sliding door, pull
the inside or outside handle and then
close the door.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the passengers from being
thrown out from the vehicle in an
accident. It also helps prevent the
doors from being opened unintention-
ally.
Sliding door closer (on some models):
When the sliding door has not been fully
closed, it is automatically closed com-
pletely even if the power sliding door sys-
tem is off.
CAUTION
Careful attention is needed so as
not to get your fingers trapped as
the sliding door automatically
closes when it has not been fully
closed.
Never allow a child to operate the
sliding door.
NOTICE
Do not apply excessive force when
the sliding door closer is operating.
Otherwise, the sliding door closer
may be damaged.

When closing the sliding door, con-
firm safety of the area around.
Keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the sliding door. Other-
wise, the closing door may cause
death or serious injury.
When the vehicle is stopped on a
slope, the door will slide faster
when opening or closing, so be es-
pecially careful that the passengers
do not get hit or pinched by the
door.

plying the brakes. Doing so could
