Controls and features Power Sliding Door (if equipped) The overhead console consists of the Power Sliding Door (PSD) ON/OFF control (with indicator light) and the right and left hand side PSD control(s). SLIDING DOOR OFF ON With this option, you can open and close the sliding door(s) with the controls inside your vehicle. With the remote keyless entry system, you can also operate the PSD with the remote transmitter. Refer to Remote Entry System in this chapter. The PSD feature has control(s) accessible by passengers in the second row seating positions. The control(s) are located on the trim panel in front of the sliding door. Press and release the control to open the PSD on that side of the vehicle. Press the left side of the ON/OFF control in the overhead console to turn off the PSD. This prevents opening the PSD using the rear seat control(s) or the handle; but the door(s) can be opened manually with the handle. The controls in the overhead console for right or left side and the Remote Entry System will remain functional with the system shut OFF. The sliding door must be unlocked for it to operate. The key does not have to be in the ignition. To help avoid accidental operation of the Power Sliding Door, disable the PSD second row passenger controls by pushing the overhead console control to OFF. When the key is in the ignition in RUN, the PSD will only open if the transaxle is in PARK (P). The transaxle does not have to be in PARK (P) to close the door. 101
