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 
beep sound will be heard and the doors 
slide in the opposite direction 
approximately 10 cm (4 in) and stop.

direction and an obstruction is detected,

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, an occupant in the door’s 
path could be seriously injured. 
Always check the area around the 
power sliding doors before opening/
closing them.

WARNING

NOTE

If the power sliding door system 
repeatedly detects an obstruction in the 
open/close directions for a number of 
times, the door will be stopped.
