1-2. Opening, closing and locking the doors

1

Before driving

CAUTION

Operating the sliding doors

Observe the following precautions.

Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.

When opening or closing a sliding door, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.

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.

Do not leave the sliding door at half-opened position because the sliding
door is not latched at this position. If the vehicle is stopped on a downward
slope, the sliding door may move and cause an unexpected injury.

When the vehicle is stopped on a slope,
the door will slide faster when opening
or closing, so be especially careful that
the passengers do not get hit or
pinched by the door.

When stopping on a downward slope,
open the door fully while passengers
are getting on or off. Do not pull the out-
side handle or inside handle while the
door is open as the door could sud-
denly close by itself causing injury.

When closing the sliding door, take
extra care to prevent your fingers etc.
from being caught.
