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.

To close the fully−opened sliding door,
push the lock release button and then
close the door.

stops at the half−opened position if the
fuel filler door is opened.

door fully when refueling. Otherwise,
the fuel filler door may be damaged.
LOCKING WITH SLIDING DOOR CHILD−
PROTECTORS
Open the sliding door fully and move
the lock lever to the “LOCK” position
as shown on the label. Then close the
sliding door.
If the child−protector is locked, you cannot
open the sliding door from the inside. We
recommend using this feature whenever
small children are in the vehicle.

door system is on, the child−protector fea-
ture is cancelled when someone pushes
one of the “PWR DOOR” switches or

When the vehicle is stopped on a
gradient, the door will slide faster
when opening or closing, so be es-
pecially careful that the passengers
do not get hit or pinched in the
doorway.
When stopping on a downward
slope, open the door fully while
passengers are getting on or off.
Do not pull the outside handle or
push the lock release button while
the door is open as the door could
suddenly close by itself causing in-
jury.
NOTICE
Do not close the sliding door by ap-
plying the brakes. Doing so could
cause the door to be damaged.
