Before operating the power sliding door,
make sure there is nobody near the slid-
ing door. Make sure the sliding door stops
at the fully−opened position, and then al-
low the passengers to get in and out of
the vehicle.
The resistance must be as strong as the
force of the moving door, or stronger. As
the sliding door approaches the fully −
closed or fully −opened position, its moving
force increases significantly.
The jam protection function may not work
if something gets caught just before the
sliding door is fully closed.
If the sliding door receives a strong im-
pact, this function may operate even if
nothing is caught.
CAUTION
The power sliding door could injure
people if they are caught in the door
path. When using the power sliding
door, observe the following:
Never try jamming any part of your
body to activate the jam protection
function intentionally, as it could re-
sult in death or serious injury.
The jam protection function may
not work if something gets caught
just before the sliding door is fully
closed.
Before you close the power sliding
door, always make sure there is no-
body around it. Also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing door, it could
result in death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the power slid-
ing door, make sure he or she oper-
ates the door safely.
NOTICE
Objects caught in the path of the slid-
ing door may be damaged. Make sure
there is nothing in the doorway be-
fore closing the sliding door.
If the battery is disconnected or run
down, the power sliding door system may
not work after you reconnect, replace or
recharge the battery. In any of these
cases, close the sliding doors completely
by hand to normalize the power sliding
door system.

operate properly after the above proce-
dure, there may be a problem in the sys-
tem. Contact your Toyota dealer.
