sliding door and power liftgate at
open position for a long lime.

Automatic stop and reversal
If the power opening or closing is
blocked by an object or part of the
body, the power sliding door and power
liftgate will detect the resistance, chime
3 times, and then either stop or move
to the full open position.
However, if the resistance is weak
such as an object that is thin or soft, or
the door is near latched position, the
automatic stop and reversal may not
detect the resistance and closing oper-
ation will continue. Also, if the power
sliding door or power liftgate is forced
by strong impact, the automatic stop
and reversal may operate.
If the automatic stop and reversal
feature operates continuously more
than twice during one opening or
closing operation, the power sliding
door or power liftgate may stop at
that position. At this time, close the
doors manually and operate the door
automatically again.
