Toyota Sienna 2001 Operating Manual page 17

Vehicles with power door lock
tem—The sliding doors will be locked si-
multaneously when either front door or the
back door is locked with the power door
lock switch or key. If you lock either front
door or the back door with the power door
lock switch or key while the sliding door
is open, the sliding door will be locked
after it is closed. (For instructions, see
"Front doors" or "Back door" in this sec-
tion.)
Closing the sliding door with the lock knob
in the lock position will also lock the slid-
ing door. Be careful not to lock your keys
in the vehicle.
CLOSING FROM INSIDE
To close the fully–opened sliding door,
push the lock release button and then
close the door.

CAUTION
D
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, they will be possibly caught
and pinched by the closing door
causing an unexpected serious inju-
ry.

D
When the vehicle is stopped on a
gradient, 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.
D
When stopping on a downward
slope, open the door fully while
passengers are getting on or off.
Do not pull the outside handle or
push the lock release button while
the door is open as the door could
suddenly close by itself causing in-
jury.
NOTICE
Do not close the sliding door by ap-
plying the brakes. Doing so could
cause the door to be damaged.
