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
signi cantly 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
