To close a power sliding door from the
fully open position, pull the door handle.
A beep sound will be heard and the door
closes automatically.
NOTE
When the door handle is pulled with
l
a power sliding door in the half-open
position, the power sliding door
opens automatically.
If the door handle is pulled while a
l
power sliding door is opening/
closing, the door will stop and a beep
sound will be heard.
Jam-safe equipment
While a power sliding door is opening/
closing electrically and the system detects
a person or an object in the power sliding
door's path, the door will slide in the
reverse direction automatically.
WARNING
Always check the area around the
power sliding doors before opening/
closing them:
Not checking for occupants and
objects around a power sliding door
before opening/closing it is dangerous.
The jam-safe equipment is designed to
prevent jamming in the event an
obstruction is in the sliding door's
path. However, if the jam-safe
function detects an obstruction and
slides the door in the reverse direction,
an occupant in the door's path could
be seriously injured.
Doors and Locks
CAUTION
Be careful not to allow the sensors to
l
be scratched or damaged by sharp
objects. A sensor is installed on the
front end of each power sliding door.
Be careful not to pinch your head or
l
a hand in a power sliding door. The
upper and lower ends of the power
sliding doors have areas which
cannot detect obstructions.
When the power sliding doors are sliding
in the opening direction and an
obstruction is detected in its path, the beep
sound will be heard and the doors slide in
the opposite direction approximately 10
cm (4 in) and stop. When the doors are
sliding in the closing direction and an
obstruction is detected, the beep sound
will be heard and the doors open
completely.
