Features of your vehicle
If the power opening or closing is
blocked by an object or part of the
body, the power sliding door will
detect the resistance, then the
chime will sound 3 times, and stop
movement or move to the opposite
direction to allow the object to be
cleared. However, if the resistance is
weak such as an object that is thin
or soft, or the door is near latched
position, the automatic stop and
reversal may not detect the resis -
tance and closing operation will con -
tinue. Also, if the power sliding door
is forced by strong impact, the
automatic stop and reversal may
operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal
feature operates continuously more
than twice during one opening or
closing operation, the power sliding
door may stop at that position. At
this time, close the doors manually
and operate the door automatically
again.
WARNING
The automatic stop and reversal
feature is a supplemental feature.
Do not solely rely on this function
when closing the sliding door. Make
sure that no objects or body parts
are in the way of the sliding door
before closing it.

NOTICE
In cold and wet climates, power
sliding doors and liftgate may not
work properly due to freezing
conditions.
When the sliding doors are
opened manually, more effort will
be required to open and close
than non-power sliding doors.
NOTICE
The power sliding door can be
operated when the engine is not
running. However the power
operation consumes large
amounts of vehicle electric power.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not operate them
excessively.
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the
power sliding door at open posi -
tion for a long time.
Do not apply excessive force while
operating the power sliding door.
This could cause damage to the
power sliding door.
When jacking up the vehicle to
change a tire or repair the vehicle,
do not operate the power sliding
door. This could cause the power
sliding door to operate improp -
erly.
It is recommended to wait until
the power sliding doors are fully
closed before starting the vehicle.
