01 SIENNA_U (L/O0008) Vehicles with power door lock system-The sliding doors will be locked simultaneously when either front door or the back door is locked with the power door lock switch or key. If you lock either front door or the back door with the power door lock switch or key while the sliding door is open, the sliding door will be locked after it is closed. (For instructions, see "Front doors" or "Back door" in this section.) Closing the sliding door with the lock knob in the lock position will also lock the sliding door. Be careful not to lock your keys in the vehicle. CLOSING FROM INSIDE To close the fully −opened sliding door, push the lock release button and then close the door. D When the vehicle is stopped on a gradient, the door will slide faster when opening or closing, so be especially careful that the passengers do not get hit or pinched by the door. D When CAUTION stopping on a downward slope, open the door fully while passengers are getting on or off. Do not pull the outside handle or push the lock release button while the door is open as the door could suddenly close by itself causing injury. D When closing the sliding door, confirm safety of the area around. Keep the heads, hands and other parts of the bodies of all occupants away from the sliding door. Otherwise, they will be possibly caught and pinched by the closing door causing an unexpected serious injury. NOTICE Do not close the sliding door by applying the brakes. Doing so could cause the door to be damaged. 2001 MY SIENNA (OM45406U) 17
