ing door may move of its own accord if it is
open but not engaged. You or others could
be trapped.
Make sure that the sliding door is engaged
in the active retainer.iThe sliding door is equipped with an ac-
tive retainer, which engages the door at
the end stop when opened.
Always make sure that the open sliding
door is correctly engaged in the detent.

to pull the outside door handle first, or
press the button on the inside handle,

so that it is not always necessary to
open the door to the end stop to get in
and out of the vehicle. The intermedi-
ate detent does not fully engage the
sliding door.
