To open either sliding door from outside the vehicle, pull the handle out and then pull the door toward the rear. If you slide the door all the way back, the door will rest in a detent position.

To move the door forward, you must first pull the door past the open detent position.

The driver's side sliding door is designed to open only a little if the fuel door is open. If this ever happens, don't try to force the sliding door. Just close the driver's side sliding door. Then when the fuel filler door is closed, the driver's side sliding door can be opened normally.

Caution: If your vehicle is facing downward on a steep grade (15 percent or more), the door may not stay open and could slam shut, possibly injuring someone. To make sure the door does not slam shut be sure to hold it open until everyone is clear of the door, and only then allow it to slowly close.

Lock either sliding door from inside the vehicle by moving the manual lever down. Unlock it by moving the lever up.

With the power door locks, the sliding door lock has a delay feature. See Power Door Locks and Vehicle Personalization .

Your vehicle is equipped with a sliding door security lock that helps prevent young children or other passengers from opening the sliding door(s) using the inside door handle. To use one of these locks, do the following:

1. Open the sliding door.




On the inside of the sliding door(s), on the front edge of the door will be a lock. Push the lever up to engage the lock.

2. Close the door.
3. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other door.

If your vehicle has the power sliding door(s), you can override the security lock by pressing either power door lock switch while the power sliding door override switch(es) is turned off. If the power sliding door override switch(es) is turned on, the power sliding door(s) cannot be opened from the inside while the sliding door security lock is in use.

If you want to open the sliding door while the security lock is on, unlock and open the door from the outside.

You should let adults and older children know how the security lock works, and how to cancel the lock. If you don't, adults or older children who ride in the rear won't be able to open the sliding door from the inside while the security lock feature is in use.

1. Unlock the sliding door and open the door from the outside.
2. Push the security lock lever all the way down.
3. Close the door.
4. Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the other door.

The sliding door lock will now work normally.
