SLIDING DOOR CHILDPROTECTORS
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.
On Off
This switch is used to turn on and off
the power sliding door system. In order
to operate the power sliding door, the
“SLIDE DOOR OFF” switch on the in-
strument panel must be pushed out.
(The orange line on the top of the
switch indicates that the power sliding
door system is on.) To disable the pow-
er sliding door feature, push in the
switch. When the power sliding door system is
on, you can open and close the sliding
door with the power sliding door switches
on the overhead console or wireless re-
mote control transmitter even if the sliding
door child
−protector is locked.
CAUTION
Do not leave small children or pets
unattended in your vehicle. They
could operate the power sliding
door and injure themselves or oth-
ers. Turn off the power sliding door
system when the power sliding door
is not in use.

LOCKING AND UNLOCKING WITH
INSIDE LOCK KNOB
Move the lock knob.

To unlock: Move the knob backward.
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 THE FULLYOPENED SLIDING
DOOR
To close the fully
−opened sliding door, pull
the inside or outside handle and then
close the door.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the passengers from being
thrown out from the vehicle during an
accident. It also helps prevent the
doors from being opened unintention-
ally.

Sliding door closer: When the sliding
door has not been fully closed, it is auto-
matically closed completely even if the
power sliding door system is off.
CAUTION
Careful attention is needed so as
not to get your fingers trapped as
the sliding door automatically
closes when it has not been fully
closed.
Never allow a child to operate the
sliding door.
NOTICE
Do not apply excessive force when
the sliding door closer is operating.
Otherwise, the sliding door closer
may be damaged.
CAUTION
When closing the sliding door, con-
firm safety of the area around.
Keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the sliding door. Other-
wise, the closing door may cause
an unexpected serious injury.
When the vehicle is stopped on a
slope, the door will slide faster
when opening or closing, so be es-
pecially careful that the passengers
do not get hit or pinched by the
door.
When stopping on a downward
slope, open the door fully while
passengers are getting on or off.
Do not pull the outside handle or
inside handle while the door is
open as the door could suddenly
close by itself causing injury.
NOTICE
Do not close the sliding door by ap-
plying the brakes. Doing so could
cause the door to be damaged.

JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION
If anything with sufficient resistance ob-
structs the power sliding door while it is
closing or opening, the sliding door will
automatically reverse to the opposite di-
rection. However, if the power sliding door
is between the half−opened and fully −
opened positions while it is opening, the
door will stop at that position.
If the jam protection function operates
continuously at the closing operation more
than 2 times, the sliding door will be
stopped at that position and the power
sliding door system will be canceled. Before operating the power sliding door,
make sure there is nobody near the slid-
ing door. Make sure the sliding door stops
at the fully
−opened position, and then al-
low the passengers to get in and out of
the vehicle.
The resistance must be as strong as the
force of the moving door, or stronger. As
the sliding door approaches the fully −
closed or fully −opened position, its moving
force increases significantly.
The jam protection function may not work
if something gets caught just before the
sliding door is fully closed.
If the sliding door receives a strong im-
pact, this function may operate even if
nothing is caught.
CAUTION
The power sliding door could injure
people if they are caught in the door
path. When using the power sliding
door, observe the following:
Never try jamming any part of your
body to make the jam protection
function work intentionally.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the sliding door is fully
closed.
Before you close the power sliding
door, always make sure there is no-
body around it. Also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing door, it could
result in a serious injury. When
anyone closes the power sliding
door, make sure he or she operates
the door safely.
NOTICE
Objects caught in the path of the slid-
ing door may be damaged. Make sure
there is nothing in the doorway be-
fore closing the sliding door.
