If a person or object is in the way
af ter 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.
If a passenger needs to get out of the
vehicle while you are ref ueling,
instruct that person to exit on the
passenger’s side, not the driver’s
side.Make sure the power sliding doors
are latched in the f ully-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. Make sure the MAIN switch is in
the ON position. This allows the
power assist to keep the doors
f rom slamming shut.
If the MAIN switch is off, the door
can slam shut and possibly injure
someone.If your vehicle’s battery is
disconnected or goes dead while a
sliding door is open, the power
sliding door system needs to be reset.
Af ter 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 itself
automatically once the battery has
been reconnected.
If the power sliding doors do not
operate properly af ter resetting,
have your vehicle checked by a
Honda dealer.
When parking f acing downhill on a
steep grade, the power sliding doors
may not open or close as they do
normally.
Bef ore ref ueling, make sure the
driver’s side sliding door is f ully
closed. When you release the f uel f ill
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. Af ter you close the f uel f ill door, the
sliding door does not automatically
