SLIDING SIDE DOOR
The sliding door may be opened from the inside or the
outside. Pull outward on exterior handle to open the
sliding door. The sliding door inside handle functions by
rocking forward and back. Rocking the handle back-
wards opens the door and rocking forward releases the
hold open latch in order to close the door.
To keep your door operating properly, observe the fol-
lowing guidelines:
• Always open the door smoothly.
• Avoid high impacts against the door stop when open-
ing the door. This is very important when your vehicle
is parked on an incline as the door will slide faster in
the downhill direction.
• There is a hold-open latch that is activated when the
sliding door is fully opened. This latch will keep your
sliding door open on any incline. To close the sliding
door after the hold-open latch is activated, you must
rock the inside handle forward or pull outward on the
outside handle.
Always make sure that the sliding door is fully latched
anytime the vehicle is in motion.
NOTE: The left side sliding door cannot be opened
while the fuel door is open. This feature operates only
when the sliding door is fully closed prior to opening the
fuel door.
POWER SLIDING SIDE DOOR — IF EQUIPPED
The power sliding door may be opened manually or by
using the buttons on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter.
Press the button on the transmitter twice within five
seconds, to open a power sliding door. When the door is
fully open, pressing the button twice within five seconds
a second time will close the door.
