Opening/closing with door handles

When the power sliding doors are 
completely closed and a door is slid by the 
handle slightly in the direction of 
opening, the door completely opens 
automatically after the buzzer sounds.

When the doors are completely open and 
a door is slid by the handle 5 cm (2 in) in 
the direction of closing, the doors will 
completely close automatically after the 
buzzer sounds.

Jam-safe equipment

While a door is opening/closing 
electrically and the system detects a 
person or an object in the sliding door’s 
path, the door will slide in the reverse 
direction automatically.

When the power sliding doors are sliding 
in the opening direction and an 
obstruction is detected in its path, the 
buzzer sounds and the doors slide in the 
opposite direction approximately 10 cm 
(4 in) and stop. When the doors are 
sliding in the closing direction and an 
obstruction is detected, the buzzer sounds 
and the doors open completely.

NOTE

•

If a rear power sliding door switch 
is pressed again while the buzzer is 
sounding, the operation can be 
canceled.

•

Press a rear power sliding door 
switch to stop the power sliding 
doors while they are opening/
closing.

Check Area Around Power Sliding 
Doors Before Operating:
Not checking for occupants and 
objects around a power sliding door 
before opening/closing it is 
dangerous. The jam-safe equipment 
is designed to prevent jamming in the 
event an obstruction is in the sliding 
door’s path. However, if the jam-safe 
function detects an obstruction and 
slides the door in the reverse 
direction, and occupant in the door’s 
path could be seriously injured. 
Always check the area around the 
power sliding doors before opening/
closing them.
