WARNING
Do not allow passengers in the
second-row seats to lean against the
power sliding doors while seated in the
vehicle:
Leaning against a power sliding door
while seated in the vehicle is
dangerous as it may open
unexpectedly resulting in a serious
accident, injury, or death if an
occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle. Always remain properly seated
with the seat belt fastened.
Do not drive the vehicle while the
power sliding doors are opening or
closing:
Driving the vehicle while the power
sliding doors are opening or closing is
dangerous. The doors will not close
completely and this could result in
serious injury or death if an occupant
were to fall out of the vehicle.
Occupants in the vehicle will also not
have full protection in a collision.
(The buzzer sounds continuously if the
vehicle is driven with the doors not
fully closed.)
Never allow children to operate the
power sliding door system:
Allowing children to operate the
power sliding door switches and the
keyless entry system is dangerous.
Children are not aware of the dangers
of people getting fingers and hands
caught in moving doors. In addition, a
power sliding door may open
unexpectedly resulting in a serious
accident, injury, or death if a child or
other occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle.

hands out the power sliding door
windows while the doors are opening/
closing. A head or hands could be

Make sure that the door has
completely opened before exiting or
entering the vehicle on a steep
downward slope:
Entering or exiting a vehicle parked
on a steep downward slope before the
door has completely opened is
dangerous. The door could
unexpectedly move down resulting in
serious injury.
Always press the main switch for the
power sliding doors to the OFF
position when working on the vehicle:
Leaving the main switch for the power
sliding doors in the ON position while
working on the vehicle is dangerous.

doors will slide and hands or head
could become caught resulting in
possible injury.

open while parked on an incline:
Leaving a power sliding door open is
