06 SIENNA_U (L/O 0603) CLOSING THE FULLY- OPENED SLIDING DOOR To close the fully- opened sliding door, pull the inside or outside handle and then close the door. Sliding door closer: When the sliding door has not been fully closed, it is automatically closed completely even if the power sliding door system is off. 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 in and out of the vehicle. The resistance must be as strong as the force of the moving door, or stronger. As the sliding door approaches the fullyclosed or fully- opened position, its moving force increases significantly. The jam protection function may not work if something gets caught just before the sliding door is fully closed. If the sliding door receives a strong impact, this function may operate even if nothing is caught. CAUTION D Careful attention is needed so as not to get your fingers trapped as the sliding door automatically closes when it has not been fully closed. 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 half- opened and fullyopened positions while it is opening, the door will stop at that position. If the jam protection function operates continuously at the closing operation more than 2 times, the sliding door will be stopped at that position and the power sliding door system will be canceled. D Never allow a child to operate the sliding door. CAUTION The power sliding door could injure people if they are caught in the door path. When using the power sliding door, observe the following: NOTICE Do not apply excessive force when the sliding door closer is operating. Otherwise, the sliding door closer may be damaged. D Never try jamming any part of your body to activate the jam protection function intentionally, as it could result in a serious injury. 32 2006 SIENNA from March '06 Prod. (OM45443U)
