Power Sliding Door Operation
The power sliding door(s) will only open if the transaxle
is in PARK (P). The transaxle does not have to be in
PARK (P) to close the door(s).
There are several ways to open and close the power
sliding door(s).
If your vehicle has a single power sliding door,
press the top of the overhead console PSD
activation/override (deactivation) switch.
If your vehicle has dual power sliding doors, press
the top of the driver’s side and/or passenger’s side
overhead console PSD switch.
Press the passenger PSD activation switch. This
switch will also stop a moving door immediately.
Press the power sliding door button on the remote
keyless entry transmitter.
To manually open the power sliding door(s) while
the switch(es) are in the activation position, pull
and release the inside or outside door handle
to release the door latch. The door will fully open.
To manually close the power sliding door(s) while
the switches are in the activation position, pull the
inside or outside door handle or the edge of
the door. Move the door about 4 inches (10 cm)
toward the closed position and release it. The door
will close completely and latch.
If a power sliding door is locked, it cannot be unlocked
and opened using the overhead console PSD
switch(es) or the passenger PSD activation switch(es).
The power sliding door must either be manually
unlocked or unlocked using the power door unlock
switch located on the driver’s or front passenger’s
armrest, and then opened using the overhead or
passenger PSD activation switch(es).
The remote keyless entry transmitter can also be used to
open the power sliding door(s). If the vehicle is locked,
press the power sliding door button(s) and all doors will
unlock and the sliding door(s) will open. SeeRemote
Keyless Entry System Operation on page 2-5.

If the power sliding door has been manually locked, you
must unlock the PSD before it can be opened.
Notice:If you leave the power sliding door on when
you go through an automatic car wash, the door may
accidentally open. Be sure the power sliding door is
turned off when going through a car wash.
If the power sliding door(s) is open or in the process of
closing when you shift out of PARK (P), a chime will
sound. This is a warning that the sliding door(s) is not
completely closed. Also, the Driver Information
Center (DIC) will indicate if the door is open. SeeDIC
Warnings and Messages on page 3-51. Stop the vehicle
and close the door.
{CAUTION:
If you shift the transaxle out of PARK (P) and
accelerate before the power sliding door
latches closed, the door may reverse to the
open position. A child or others could fall out
of the vehicle and be injured. Always make
sure the power sliding door is closed and
latched before you drive away.If an object obstructs the power sliding door(s) while it is
closing, the door will automatically reverse to the
open position, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
Resistance must be as strong as the force of the closing
door, or stronger. The force of the closing door
increases signicantly as the door approaches the
latched position.
The driver’s side sliding door is designed to open only a
little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, do
not try to force the sliding door. When the fuel ller door
is closed, the driver’s side sliding door can be opened
normally.

all because of the following conditions:
A low voltage or dead battery
A disconnected battery
If the instrument panel PSD/fuse 21, LHPSD/fuse
24 or RHPSD/fuse 25 are removed or blown.
SeeFuses and Circuit Breakers on page 5-96for more
information about your fuse panel.
If any of these conditions occur, the power sliding door
may need to be reset. If your vehicle has the dual
power sliding doors, both doors will have to be reset. To
reset a door, do the following:
1. Check to be sure the power sliding door is unlocked
and securely closed.
2. Turn the ignition to LOCK.
3. If the power sliding door overhead console switch is
in the override (deactivation) position, return to the
activation position.
4. Open the sliding door using the remote keyless entry
transmitter, overhead console switch, or passenger
switch. Allow the door to travel fully open.
2-22

If the door does not travel to the fully open position,
press the overhead console switch to the override
(deactivation) position and slide the door fully open and
closed. Check for foreign objects in the tracks. Repeat
the procedure starting with Step 1. If the door resists
travel to the fully open position, see your dealer

Liftgate
To unlock or lock the liftgate from the outside, use the
remote keyless entry transmitter. For more information,
seeRemote Keyless Entry System Operation on
page 2-5. You can also use the power door lock switch
to lock and unlock the liftgate.
Open the liftgate using the handle located above the
license plate. Once slightly opened, the liftgate will rise
by itself. Lamps in the rear of the vehicle will come
on, illuminating the rear cargo area.
Notice:If you open the liftgate without checking for
overhead obstructions such as a garage door,
you could break the liftgate glass. Always check to
make sure the area above the liftgate is clear
before opening it.
{CAUTION:
It can be dangerous to drive with the liftgate
open because carbon monoxide (CO) gas can
come into your vehicle. You cannot see or
smell CO. It can cause unconsciousness and
even death. If you must drive with the liftgate
open or if electrical wiring or other cable
connections must pass through the seal
between the body and the liftgate:
Make sure all other windows are shut.
Turn the fan on your heating or cooling
system to its highest speed and select the

features, we know that nothing we put on it can make it
impossible to steal.
Content Theft-Deterrent
Your vehicle may have a theft-deterrent alarm system.
A light located on top of your instrument panel, near the
center of the vehicle next to the windshield, will ash
slowly to let you know that the system has been armed.

Once armed, the alarm will go off if someone tries to
enter the vehicle without using the remote keyless entry
