Main Menu Table Of Contents Sliding Doors Refueling When you release the fuel fill door, the driver's side sliding door automatically locks so it cannot open and interfere with the fuel door. If a passenger attempts to unlock the door by cycling the lock knob several times, the door can be opened. If a passenger needs to get out while you are refueling, instruct that person to exit on the passenger's side. When you close the fuel fill door, the driver's side sliding door unlocks if it was unlocked when you opened the fuel fill door. On EX, EX-L and Touring models Parking on a Hill When parking facing downhill, make sure the doors are latched in the fully open position, and then hold the door open for your passengers. Do not pull the inside or outside door handle, or the door will slam shut. On EX, EX-L and Touring models If you leave the vehicle on a steep downhill with a power sliding door half open and the engine off, the magnetic lock will turn off after 30 minutes and the sliding door will automatically open or close. In this case you will hear a continuous tone. If your vehicle is facing downhill, do not turn the main switch to OFF while the door is opening because the door may slam shut. Instruments and Controls Make sure the main switch on the dashboard is in the ON position. When parking facing downhill on a steep grade, the power sliding doors may not open or close as they do normally. If you open the fuel fill door while the driver's side sliding door is opening, the sliding door stops. If this happens, the door must be operated manually. 165 2008 Odyssey
