the door. This is normal operation to

Power Sliding Door
Obstructions
On equipped vehicles, the power sliding
door will automatically reverse to the
open position if anything obstructs its
path while it is closing. Resistance to the
sliding door must be as great as or
greater than the force of the closing
door to cause it to reverse. The force of
the closing door increases significantly
as the door approaches the final latched
position. Pushing the button next to the
corresponding sliding door handle, or on
the remote keyless entry transmitter, can
also reverse a closing power sliding
door's direction. The door may be
stopped immediately by activating the
power sliding door override switch on
the overhead console.
See Section 2 of your Owner Manual.
