Keys, Doors and Windows To close the 60/40 side doors, close the rear door first. Then close the front door. Check to make sure that both doors are completely closed. The swing-out doors have a check strap assembly in the door frame to keep the door from opening beyond 90 degrees. To open the door beyond 90 degrees, close the door partially, pull the check strap toward you and then open the door. When the door is closed, the check strap will automatically re-engage. 2-11 Sliding Door To open the rear portion of a 60/40 door from the outside, pull the handle on the side of the rear door and pull the door toward you. To open the sliding side door from the outside, pull the handle toward the rear of the vehicle and slide the door open. To close the sliding side door from the outside, use the handle to slide the door toward the front of the vehicle. When the door is closed, it will be flush with the side of the body.
