WARNING
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make
sure they are safe and let them
know that the sliding door is about
to open or close. Also, do not oper-
ate the power sliding door if anyone
inside or outside the vehicle is lean-
ing against the vehicle in the area
around the sliding door.
● If the power sliding door system is
turned off with the "PWR DOOR
OFF" switch while the sliding door
is operating automatically, the auto-
matic operation is stopped. The
sliding door then has to be operated
manually. Take extra care when on
an incline, as the sliding door may
open or close unexpectedly.
● While the sliding door is automati-
cally being opened or closed, or
when the sliding door is not in the
fully-open position, it may suddenly
move in the reverse direction or
start moving. Make sure to check
that the sliding door remains sta-
tionary in the full-open position.
●
On an incline, a sliding door may
close by itself after it opens auto-
matically. Make sure the sliding
door is fully open and secure.
● If the operating conditions of the
power sliding door are no longer
met, a buzzer may sound and the
sliding door may stop opening or
closing. The sliding door then has
to be operated manually. Take extra
care when on an incline, as the slid-
ing door may open or close
abruptly.
3-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
●
In the following situations, the
power sliding door may detect an
abnormality and automatic opera-
tion may be stopped. In this case,
the sliding door has to be operated
manually. Take extra care when on
an incline, as the sliding door may
open or close abruptly.
• When the sliding door contacts an
obstacle
• When the battery voltage suddenly
drops, such as when the engine
switch is turned to ON mode or the
engine is started during automatic
operation
● When the child-protector locks are
set, make sure to turn off the power
sliding door system with the "PWR
DOOR OFF" switch in order to
totally disable the system.
● In cases such as when replacing
tires, make sure to turn off the
"PWR DOOR OFF" switch. Failure
to do so may cause the sliding door
to operate unintentionally if the
power sliding door switch is acci-
dentally touched, resulting in hands
and fingers being caught and
injured.
■ Jam protection function (when
the "PWR DOOR OFF" switch is
on)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or
serious injury.
●
Never use any part of your body to
intentionally activate the jam pro-
tection function.
● The jam protection function may not
work if something gets caught just
before the power sliding door fully
closes. Be careful not to catch fin-
gers or anything else.
