WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
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.
Open Windows and Power Sliding
Doors:
It is dangerous to stick your head or
hands out the power sliding door
windows while the doors are opening/
closing. A head or hands could be
caught resulting in serious injury.
Never stick your head or hands out the
power sliding door windows.

WARNING
Closing Power Windows:

even death.
This warning applies especially to
children. Make sure the opening is
clear before closing a window.
Children and Power Windows:

or neck becomes caught by the
window. Always lock all passenger
power windows with the power
window lock switch on the driver's
side while children are in the vehicle,
and never allow children to play with
power window switches.
CAUTION
To prevent burning out the fuse and
damaging the power window system,
don't open or close more than three
windows at once.
