Vehicles with power door lock system—
The sliding doors will be locked simulta-
neously when either front door or the back
door is locked with the power door lock
switch or key. If you lock either front door
or the back door with the power door lock
switch or key while the sliding door is
open, the sliding door will be locked after
it is closed. (For instructions, see “Front
doors” or “Back door” in this section.)
Closing the sliding door with the lock knob
in the lock position will also lock the slid-
ing door. Be careful not to lock your keys
in the vehicle.
CLOSING FROM INSIDE

push the lock release button and then
close the door.

door fully when refueling. Otherwise,
the fuel filler door may be damaged.
LOCKING WITH SLIDING DOOR CHILD−
PROTECTORS

the lock lever to the “LOCK” position

door system is on, the child−protector fea-
ture is cancelled when someone pushes

Before operating the power sliding door,
make sure there is nobody near the slid-
ing door. Make sure the sliding door stops
