GETTING TO KNOW YOUR VEHICLE21
To operate the sliding door manually with the handles or
to avoid unintentional operation of the power sliding doors
from the rear seats, push the power sliding door power off
button, located in the overhead console, to remove power
to the handles and buttons just inside the sliding doors.
The power off LED, in the overhead console, will be lit
when the handles are manual. When the LED is lit,
pushing the power sliding door power off button will return
the handles to power operation.
NOTE:
If anything obstructs the power sliding side door while
it is closing or opening, the door will automatically
reverse to the closed or open position and an audible
tone will sound, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
The turn signals will flash with sliding door movements.
If the power sliding door stops in the middle due to
obstacles, it will power open on the next command.
