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.

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.
