vehicle with children and keep them in
a place where your children will not
find or play with them.

sure to view the doors opening or
closing and do not operate a door on
either side if you can't fully see it.
Always make sure that you watch the
power sliding doors close completely
and be sure your children do not have
access to the transmitter.

WARNING

Unattended Children and Pets:
Leaving a child or an animal
unattended in a parked vehicle is
dangerous. In hot weather,
temperatures inside a vehicle can
become high enough to cause brain
damage or even death. Always take all
children and animals with you or
leave a responsible person with them.

Keys and Children:
Leaving children in a vehicle with the
key is dangerous. This could result in
someone being badly injured or even
killed. They could play with power
windows or other controls, or even
make the vehicle move. Don't leave the
keys in your vehicle with children and
keep them in a place where your
children will not find or play with
them.

Unlocked Doors:
Unlocked doors in a moving vehicle
are dangerous. Passengers can fall out
if a door is accidentally opened and
can more easily be thrown out in an
accident. So keep all doors locked
when driving.

take the key with you when leaving
your vehicle unattended.

WARNING

Operating Power Sliding Doors:
Opening or closing the power sliding
doors while not watching the doors
move is dangerous. People or animals
could be injured when the doors open
along the rear sides and back to the
rear fender, or in closing. Because of
unseen obstacles and the jam-safe
feature a door may not close
completely and, if left unnoticed, could
result in serious injury or death if an
occupant were to fall out of the
vehicle.
Always be sure that the doorway and
rear fender area is clear before
activating the power sliding doors. Be
sure to view the power sliding doors
opening or closing and make sure that
you watch them close completely.

WARNING

Moving the Vehicle while Closing
Power Sliding Doors:
Shifting out of Park (P) while the
doors are moving is dangerous. The
doors will not close completely and
this could result in serious injury or
death if an occupant were to fall out of
the vehicle. Occupants in the vehicle
will also not have full protection in a
collision. Always be sure the doors
completely close before you shift into
gear and move the vehicle.

Children and the Power Sliding Door
Switches:
Allowing children to operate the
power sliding door switches and the
keyless entry system is dangerous.

of people getting fingers and hands
caught in moving doors. Never allow
children to operate the power sliding
door system.

It is dangerous to stick your head or
hands out the power sliding door

Jam-safe equipment

While a door is opening/closing
electrically and the system detects a
person or an object in the sliding door's
path, the door will slide in the reverse
direction automatically.

WARNING

Check Area Around Power Sliding
Doors Before Operating:
Not checking for occupants and
objects around a power sliding door
before opening/closing it is dangerous.
The jam-safe equipment is designed to
prevent jamming in the event an
obstruction is in the sliding door's
path. However, if the jam-safe
function detects an obstruction and
slides the door in the reverse direction,
an occupant in the door's path could
be seriously injured. Always check the
area around the power sliding doors
before opening/closing them.

When the power sliding doors are sliding
in the opening direction and an
obstruction is detected in its path, the beep
sound will be heard and the doors slide in
the opposite direction approximately 10
cm (4 in) and stop. When the doors are
sliding in the closing direction and an
obstruction is detected, the beep sound
will be heard and the doors open
completely.

NOTE

If the power sliding door system
repeatedly detects an obstruction in the
open/close directions for a number of
times, the door will be stopped.
