animals unattended in your vehicle.
WARNING -
Doors
The doors should always be fully
closed and locked while the vehi-
cle is in motion to prevent acci-
dental opening of the door.
Locked doors will also discour-
age potential intruders when the
vehicle stops or slows.
Be careful when opening doors
and watch for vehicles, motorcy-
cles, bicycles or pedestrians
approaching the vehicle in the
path of the door. Opening a door
when something is approaching

D070401AENAutomatic stop and reversalIf, during power opening or closing, the
tailgate is blocked by an object or part of
the body, the power tailgate will detect
the resistance, then the chime will sound
3 times, and it will stop movement or
move to the full open position to allow the
object to be cleared.
However, if the resistance is weak such
as from an object that is thin or soft, or
the tailgate is near the latched position,
the automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance and the closing
operation will continue. Also, if the power
tailgate is forced by a strong impact, the
automatic stop and reversal may oper-
ate.If the automatic stop and reversal feature
operates continuously more than twice
during one opening or closing operation,
the power tailgate may stop at that posi-
tion. At this time, close the tailgate man-
ually and operate the tailgate automati-
cally again.
