name. SIENNA (45403U) If you shift out of "P" when the power sliding door is opened or in the process of closing with the power sliding door system on, a buzzer will sound and the open power sliding door warning light will flash. This is a warning that the sliding door is not completely closed. The resistance must be as strong as the force of the moving door, or stronger. As the sliding door approaches the fully − closed or fully −opened position, its moving force increases significantly. If an impact is given to the sliding door, this function may work without anything caught. CAUTION Power sliding door could injure people if they caught in the door path. When using the power sliding door, observe the following: JAM PROTECTION FUNCTION If anything with sufficient resistance obstructs the power sliding door while it is closing or opening, the sliding door will automatically reverse to the opposite direction. However, if the power sliding door is between the fully −closed and half − opened positions while it is opening, the door will stop at that position. Before operating the power sliding door, make sure there is nobody near the sliding door. Make sure the sliding door stops at the fully −opened position, and then allow the passengers to get on and off the vehicle. D Never try jamming any part of your body to make the jam protection function work intentionally. D The jam protection function may not work when something gets caught just before the sliding door is fully closed. 21
