CAUTION
■
Operating the sliding doors
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
● When opening or closing a sliding door, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the sliding door is about to open or close.
● Do not leave the sliding door at half-opened position because the sliding
door is not latched at this position. If the vehicle is stopped on a downward
slope, the sliding door may move and cause an unexpected injury.
●When the vehicle is stopped on a slope,
the door will slide faster when opening
or closing, so be especially 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 out-
side handle or inside handle while the
door is open as the door could sud-
denly close by itself causing injury.
● When closing the sliding door, take
extra care to prevent your fingers etc.
from being caught.

■ Power sliding doors (vehicles with power sliding doors)
Observe the following precautions when the power sliding door system is on.
Failure to do so may cause serious injury.
●Check the safety of the surrounding area to make sure there are no obsta-
cles or anything that could cause any of your belongings to get caught.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the sliding door is about to open or close.
● If the power sliding door switch is pressed while the sliding door is opening
during automatic operation, the sliding door stops opening. Take extra
care when on an incline, as the sliding door may open or close suddenly.
● Do not leave the sliding door at half-opened position because the door will
unlock after 30 minutes. If the vehicle is stopped on a downward slope, the
sliding door may move and cause an unexpected injury.
●In the event that the sliding door is left
slightly open, the sliding door closer will
automatically close it to the fully closed
position. It takes several seconds
before the sliding door closer begins to
operate. Be careful not to catch fingers
or anything else in the sliding door, as
this may cause bone fractures or other
serious injuries.
