42 THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE STARTING YOUR VEHICLE • There is a hold-open latch that is activated when the sliding door is fully opened. This latch will keep your sliding door open on any incline. To close the sliding door after the hold-open latch is activated, you must rock the inside handle forward or pull outward on the outside handle. Always make sure that the sliding door is fully latched anytime the vehicle is in motion. NOTE: The left side sliding door cannot be opened while the fuel door is open. This feature operates only when the sliding door is fully closed prior to opening the fuel door. POWER SLIDING SIDE DOOR - IF EQUIPPED The power sliding door may be opened manually or by using the buttons on the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. Press the button on the transmitter twice within five seconds, to open a power sliding door. When the door is fully open, pressing the button twice within five seconds a second time will close the door. There are also power sliding side door switches located on the trim panel just in front of the power sliding door for the rear seat passengers. Pressing the switch once will open the power sliding door. When the door is fully open pressing the switch a second time will close the door.
