Push the driver's side door button (1) or passenger's side door button (2) to open or close the power sliding door. However, you can operate the power sliding door by using the switch even when every sliding door and liftgate is locked and closed.

When the LED indicator of the power door ON/OFF button is OFF, follow the directions below to open or close the power sliding doors:
-
Push the corresponding sub control button on the center pillar trim.
-
Push the corresponding sub control button on the outside handle.
-
Pull the door handle from inside or outside vehicle.
-
If the sub control button is pushed while the door is locked or child safety lock is engaged, the chime sounds once, and the power sliding door will not open.
-
If the door handle is pulled from inside or outside while the door is locked and child safety lock is engaged, the power sliding door will not open. However, the power sliding door can be opened by pulling the outside door handle or pushing the corresponding sub control button on the outside handle while the door is unlocked and child safety lock is engaged.
When the LED indicator of the power door ON/OFF button is ON, the power sliding door cannot be controlled with the sub control buttons or door handles, and if the sub control button is pushed, chime sounds once.
However, the doors can be opened and closed manually by pulling the door handles from inside or outside the vehicle.
On a steep grade, the power sliding door will slide faster when closing. And the drive unit motor may operate additionally for a moment after the door is closed. This is a normal operation to ensure door closing, not a malfunction.
Use the rear door safety locks whenever children are in the vehicle. If a child accidentally opens the rear doors while the vehicle is moving, the children can fall out.
When the rear passenger operates the power sliding door, make sure there are no people or objects around the door, and have all occupants get in or out of the vehicle after the door is open fully and stopped. Let the rear passengers get in or out of the vehicle after the door is open fully. Sudden closing could cause a serious injury. Close the door by pulling the door handle after the door is fully opened. Do not pull the door handle while rear passengers are getting in or out. The door could suddenly close by itself and cause a serious injury. It takes about 5 seconds for the power sliding door to close and latch completely.
Be careful that the rear sliding doors may open by unintentionally by pressing the button.
Do not accelerate before the door closes and latches completely. If the door is not completely closed while the vehicle is moving, the door can open and passengers can fall out of the vehicle.
If the power sliding door is not closed and latched completely after power closing operation, the chime sounds 4 times. Open and close the door again.
If the power sliding door is operated while the door is in partially opened position, the door is fully opened.
If the power sliding door is operated while the door is in half-opened position, the door is completely closed.
If the power sliding door is operated again while the door is closing, the door is fully opened.
If the power sliding door is operated again while the door is opening, the door is automatically closed completely. However, if the power sliding door is operated again when the door is in partially opened position, the door is opened continuously.
The half-opened power sliding door is automatically opened or closed fully by pushing the door forward or backward without pulling the door handle while the LED indicator of the power door ON/OFF button is OFF. However, when the door is in partially opened position, the door is not automatically closed.
