Operating Power Sliding Doors:
Opening or closing the power sliding 
doors while not watching the doors 
move is dangerous. People or animals 
could be injured when the doors open 
along the rear sides and back to the 
rear fender, or in closing. Because of 
unseen obstacles and the jam-safe 
feature a door may not close 
completely and, if left unnoticed, 
could result in serious injury or death 
if an occupant were to fall out of the 
vehicle.
Always be sure that the doorway and 
rear fender area is clear before 
activating the power sliding doors. Be 
sure to view the power sliding doors 
opening or closing and make sure 
that you watch them close completely.

Moving the Vehicle while Closing 
Power Sliding Doors:
Shifting out of Park (P) while the 
doors are moving is dangerous. The 
doors will not close completely and 
this could result in serious injury or 
death if an occupant were to fall out 
of the vehicle. Occupants in the 
vehicle will also not have full 
protection in a collision. Always be 
sure the doors completely close before 
you shift into gear and move the 
vehicle.
