Automatic reverse

During power sliding door operation if the power sliding door senses any obstacle, the sliding door will stop or will fully open. The automatic reverse feature may not operate properly, or it may operate unexpectedly under the following circumstances:

  • The automatic reverse feature may not detect the resistance if the detected resistance is below a certain level, or if the sliding door is almost fully closed near the latched position.

  • The automatic reverse feature may operate if a strong impact is applied with no obstructions placed.

  • The power sliding door may stop operating if the automatic reverse feature operates more than two times whilst attempting to open or close the sliding door. If this occurs, carefully open or close the sliding door manually, and then after 30 seconds try to operate the power sliding door automatically again.

WARNING

Never intentionally place any object or part of your body in the path of the sliding door to make sure the automatic reverse feature operates. Serious injury, or damage to the vehicle or object may occur.
