Operating Power Sliding Doors:
Opening or closing the power sliding
doors while not watching the doors
move is dangerous. People or animals
could be injured when the doors open
along the rear sides and back to the
rear fender, or in closing. Because of
unseen obstacles and the jam-safe
feature a door may not close
completely and, if left unnoticed,
could result in serious injury or death
if an occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle.
Always be sure that the doorway and
rear fender area is clear before
activating the power sliding doors. Be
sure to view the power sliding doors
opening or closing and make sure
that you watch them close completely.
Moving the Vehicle while Closing
Power Sliding Doors:
Shifting out of Park (P) while the
doors are moving is dangerous. The
doors will not close completely and
this could result in serious injury or
death if an occupant were to fall out
of the vehicle. Occupants in the
vehicle will also not have full
protection in a collision. Always be
sure the doors completely close before
you shift into gear and move the
vehicle.
WARNING
Children and the Power Sliding Door
Switches:
Allowing children to operate the
power sliding door switches and the
keyless entry system is dangerous.
Children are not aware of the dangers
of people getting fingers and hands
caught in moving doors. Never allow
children to operate the power sliding
door system.
Child Safety Lock and Power Sliding
Doors Main Switch:
Leaving the power sliding doors main
switch in the ON position with the
child safety locks in the lock position,
while the vehicle is stopped or parked
is dangerous. If a child mistakenly
presses the rear power sliding door
switches, a door will open
automatically even if the child safety
locks are in the lock position. If a
door opens unexpectedly, children or
other occupants could fall out
resulting in serious injury or death.
Whenever there are children in the
vehicle, turn off the power sliding
doors with the power sliding doors
main switch to lock the rear power
sliding door switches even if the child
safety locks are in the lock position.

Liftgate
Open Liftgate:
An open liftgate in a moving vehicle
will cause exhaust gas to be drawn
into the cabin. This gas contains CO
(carbon monoxide), which is
colorless, odorless, and highly
poisonous, and it can cause loss of
consciousness and death. Moreover,
an open liftgate could cause
occupants to fall out in accident. Do
not drive with the liftgate open.

The optional theft-deterrent system is
designed to prevent your vehicle or its
contents from being stolen when all the
doors, hood, and liftgate are locked.
If forcible entry is attempted, the system
sounds the horn and flashes the hazard
warning lights.
The system won’t function unless it’s
properly armed. So when you leave the
vehicle, lock all the doors and the liftgate,
close all the windows, take your key, your
transmitter, and make sure the security
indicator light is flashing.
Operation
What turns it on:
•Forcing open a door, the hood or the
liftgate.
•Opening a door or the hood by
operating an inside door-lock button or
the hood release handle.
What it does:
•The horn sounds intermittently and the
hazard warning lights flash.
•The alarm continues for about 3
minutes, then stops.
If the system is triggered again, the lights
and horn will activate until a door or the
liftgate is unlocked with the key or with
the transmitter.
How to Arm the System
1. Remove the ignition key.
2. Close the hood. Then close all doors
and the liftgate and lock them from the
outside using the key in the door. If you
have the keyless entry system, press the
LOCK button on the transmitter. The
hazard warning lights will flash one
time to indicate that the system is
armed.
The following method will also arm the
theft-deterrent system:

door-lock switch marked "DOOR
LOCK" once. Close all doors and the
liftgate.
3. The indicator light flashes once every 3
seconds to indicate that the system is
fully armed. It continues to flash until
the theft-deterrent system is turned off.
Theft-Deterrent System
NOTE
The theft-deterrent system operates
without the keyless entry system
transmitter, as well.
NOTE
Locking the doors with the inside
door-lock button will not arm the
system.
