site direction and stops.
If the sliding door is obstructed during the closing
procedure, it opens fully again.
If the electric motor of the sliding door is in danger
of overheating, e.g. due to frequent opening and
closing within a short period, the sliding door
opens fully. The sliding door is then locked in
place. The sliding door is operational again after
approximately 30 seconds.
If there has been a malfunction or if the battery
has been disconnected, you can use the release
catch to disconnect the sliding door from the elec-
tric motor. Then you can open or close the door
