CAUTION: If your vehicle is facing downward on a steep grade (15 percent or more), the door may not stay open and could slam shut, possibly injuring someone. To make sure the door does not slam shut, turn on the power sliding door feature. Then if the door closes, it will close under the control of the power door system. If you want to close the power sliding door when the switch is turned on, pull the inside or outside handle or the edge of the door. Move the door about 4 inches (10 cm) toward the closed position and release. The door will close completely and latch for you. To close the power sliding door when the switch is turned off, pull the inside or outside handle and slide the door all the way forward to the latched position. The security lock lever is located on the inside of the sliding door, on the front edge of the door. To access the lever, open the sliding door. Use the security lock label on the edge of the door as a guide. This lock is on both doors. To use the security lock, move the security lock lever all the way up and close the door from the outside. Sliding Door Security Lock Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security lock that helps prevent young children or other passengers from opening the sliding door by using the inside door handle. If your vehicle is equipped with a power sliding door, you can override the security lock by pressing either power door switch when the power sliding door is turned off. When the power sliding door is turned on, the power sliding door cannot be opened from the inside when the sliding door security lock is in use. 2-29
