The sliding door is equipped with automatic
blockage detection with reversing function. If a
solid object blocks or restricts the sliding door
during the automatic closing process, the sliding
door opens again automatically. If the sliding
door is obstructed during the opening procedure,
it moves back a few centimeters in the opposite
direction and stops.
The automatic blockage detection with reversing
function is only an aid. It is not a substitute for
your attentiveness when closing the electrical
sliding door.
If an obstacle is detected, the display shows the
Left-hand Electric Sliding Door Obstruction
Detected
message, for example, and five warning
tones sound.

In unfavorable operating conditions, e.g.
frost, ice or heavy soiling, press and hold the
appropriate sliding door button. The electric
sliding door moves with increased force.
Observe that in such circumstances, the
blockage detection is less sensitive. To stop
the movement, release the sliding door but‐
ton.
