Power Slidin g Door s (E X Model )
If a person or object is in the way
after the door begins to close, the
door handles cannot be used to stop
the door. To stop the door, use the dashboard switches or the remote
transmitter.
A Note About Refueling
Before refueling, make sure the driver's side sliding door is fully
closed. When you release the fuel fill
door, the driver's side sliding door
automatically locks so it cannot open
and interfere with the fuel door. If a
passenger attempts to unlock the door by cycling the lock knob several
times, the door may unlock and can be opened.
If a passenger needs to get out of the
vehicle while you are refueling, instruct that person to exit on the
passenger's side, not the driver's
side.
After you close the fuel fill door, the sliding door does not automatically
unlock. You must unlock it manually.
Parking Facing Downhill
When parking facing downhill on a steep grade, the power sliding doors
may not open or close as they do
normally.
Make sure the MAIN switch is in
the ON position. This allows the
power assist to keep the doors
from slamming shut.
If the MAIN switch is off, the doorcan slam shut and possibly injure
someone.
Make sure the power sliding doors
are latched in the fully-open
position, then hold the door open
while allowing your passengers to enter or exit the vehicle. Do not
pull the inside or outside door
handle, or the latch will release
and the door will close.
How to Reset the Power Sliding
Doors
If your vehicle's battery is
disconnected or goes dead while asliding door is open, the power
sliding door system needs to be reset.
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 top of each door switch until each sliding door
closes completely.
If the power sliding doors are closed, the system will reset itselfautomatically once the battery has
been reconnected. If the power sliding doors do notoperate properly after resetting,
have your vehicle checked by a Honda dealer.

HomeLink transmitter until the red light flashes. Release the buttons,
then proceed to Step 1.
If you are training the second or
third buttons, go directly to Step 1. 1. Unplug the garage door opener motor from the house current.
2. Hold the end of the garage door opener remote control 1 to 3

Canadian Owners: The remote
control you are training from may stop transmitting after two
seconds. This is not long
enough for the HomeLink transmitter to learn the code.
Release and press the button on
the remote control every two
seconds until the transmitter has
learned the code.
5. The red light in the transmitter should begin flashing. It will
flash slowly at first, then
rapidly.
