CAUTION
■
Operating the sliding doors
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in seri-
ous injury.
●
When opening or closing a sliding door, thoroughly check to make sure the
surrounding area is safe.
●
When opening or closing the sliding doors with windows open, keep all
body parts clear of the windows.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are clear of the door path and let
them know that the sliding door is about to open or close.
●
Do not leave the sliding door at half-opened position because the sliding
door is not latched at this position. If the vehicle is stopped on a downward
slope, the sliding door may move and cause an unexpected injury.
●
When the vehicle is stopped on a slope,
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.
●
When stopping on a downward slope,
open the door fully while passengers
are getting in or out. Do not pull the out-
side handle or inside handle while the
door is open as the door could sud-
denly close by itself causing injury.
● When closing the sliding door, take
extra care to prevent your fingers etc.
from being caught.
