1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors
CAUTION
■ Sliding door closer (if equipped)
● Use caution when using the sliding door closer. The sliding door closer
operates even when the power sliding door system is canceled.
■ Power sliding doors
Observe the following precautions when the power sliding door system is on.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
● When using the door handle to open or close the power slide door, remove
your hand from the door handle immediately after starting power sliding
door operation. If you leave your hand on the door handle during opera-
tion, your hand, fingers, wrist etc. may be subjected to an excessive
amount of force.
● Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obsta-
cles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the door path and let
them know that the sliding door is about to open or close.
● If the power sliding door main switch is turned off during automatic opera-
tion, the sliding door will stop opening or closing. Take extra care when on
an incline, as the sliding door may open or close suddenly.
● On an incline, a sliding door may close by itself after it opens automati-
cally. Make sure the sliding door is fully open and secure.
● In the event that the sliding door is left
slightly open, the sliding door closer will
automatically close it to the fully closed
position. It takes several seconds
before the sliding door closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers
or anything else in the sliding door, as
this may cause bone fractures or other
serious injuries.
