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 in an
accident. It also helps prevent the
doors from being opened unintention-
ally.
Sliding door closer (on some models):
When the sliding door has not been fully
closed, it is automatically closed com-
pletely even if the power sliding door sys-
tem 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
death or 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.
When the fuel filler door is opened, the
left side sliding door will not open.
Close the fuel filler door securely and
then operate the sliding door.
NOTICE
Avoid forcibly opening the left side
sliding door fully when the fuel filler
door is opened. Otherwise, the fuel
filler door may be damaged.
When the sliding door window is
opened more than about 15 cm (6 in.),
the sliding door will stop at half
opened position for safety reasons.
Close the window and then operate the
sliding door.
CAUTION
Do not leave the sliding door at half
opened position because the door is
not latched at this position. If the
vehicle is stopped on a downward
slope, it may move and cause an un-
expected injury.
