CAUTION:
If your vehicle is facing downward on a steep
grade (15 percent or more), the door may not
stay open and could slam shut, possibly injuring
someone. To make sure the door does not slam
shut, turn on the power sliding door feature.
Then if the door closes, it will close under the
control of the power door system.
If you want to close the power sliding door when the
switch is turned on, pull the inside or outside handle or
the edge of the door. Move the door about 4 inches
(10 cm) toward the closed position and release. The
door will close completely and latch for you.
To close the power sliding door when the switch is
turned off, pull the inside or outside handle and slide the
door all the way forward to the latched position.
Sliding Door Security Lock
Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security
lock that helps prevent young children or other
passengers from opening the sliding door by using the
inside door handle.
The security lock lever is located on the inside of the
sliding door, on the front edge of the door. To access the
lever, open the sliding door. Use the security lock label
on the edge of the door as a guide. This lock is on
both doors.
To use the security lock,
move the security lock lever
all the way up and close the
door from the outside.
If your vehicle is equipped with a power sliding door,
you can override the security lock by pressing either
power door switch when the power sliding door is
turned off. When the power sliding door is turned on,
the power sliding door cannot be opened from the inside
when the sliding door security lock is in use.
