movement of the door.
Disabling PSD power operation
Pressing the Power Door Lockout Control to the OFF position prevents
power operation of the PSD using the rear seat control(s), inside or
outside handle or by manually moving the door. With the PSD rear
controls disabled, the door(s) can be opened manually with the inside or
outside handles. With the Power Door Lockout control in the OFF
position, the overhead console right and left hand controls and the
Remote Entry System remain functional. Disabling the PSD may be
desirable to prevent power operation of the door by rear seat passengers
or if manual operation of the door is desired or necessary when the
vehicle is stopped or parked on a steep downhill grade.
Refer toManual Operation of the Sliding Doorin this chapter for more
information.
With the child safety lock engaged, the inside handle operation will
always be disabled regardless of the position of the Power Door Lockout
control. SeeSliding Door Child Safety Lockin this section for more
information. The trim mounted rear seat control and the outside handle
remain functional for power operation.
Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the Power Sliding Door while it is power closing or
opening, the door will automatically reverse or stop depending on the

between the sliding door and body,
which control the power locks and
the power sliding door (if
equipped). Care should be taken
while using waxes or polishes to
avoid contaminating the electrical
contact surfaces. Beverage and
other spills on the surfaces should
be cleaned immediately with a soap
and water solution and dried with a clean towel. Never use any abrasives
or dielectric grease on the contact surfaces. Periodically wiping the
surfaces with a soft clean cloth or paper towel will help remove oxidation
due to normal use. Refer to the Scheduled Maintenance Guide for
additional information.
