Sliding Doors

Each sliding door has a lock knob
under the inside door handle. Slide
the lock knob forward to unlock and
backward to lock. When you drive with children in your
vehicle, use the childproof door
locks. This will prevent children
from opening the doors accidentally (see page 85 ).
To lock a sliding door when getting out of the vehicle, slide the lock
knob backward and close the door. If
you are parked on a hill, the doors may slide closed if they are not in the
fully-open, latched position. You should hold the door to let
passengers enter and exit safely. Before refueling, make sure the
driver's side sliding door is fully
closed. When you release the fuel fill
door with the handle, the sliding
door automatically locks so it cannot
be opened and interfere with the fuel
fill door. After you close the fuel fill door, the sliding door does not
automatically unlock; you must
unlock it manually.

Important Safety Precaution
When parking on an incline, make
sure the manual doors are latched
in the fully-open position before
allowing passengers to enter or
exit the vehicle. Do not pull the
inside or outside door handles or
the latch will open and the door
will slam shut.

How to Reset the Power Sliding
Doors

If your vehicle's battery is disconnected or goes dead while the
sliding doors are open, the power
sliding door system needs to besynchronized. After reconnecting
the battery: Close each sliding door completely
by hand; or Move the MAIN switch on the
dashboard to the ON position.
Push and hold the upper side of
each door switch until each sliding
door closes completely.
If the power sliding doors are closed,
the system will reset itself automatically once the battery has
been reconnected. If the power sliding doors do not
operate properly after resetting,
have your vehicle checked by a Honda dealer.
