Honda Odyssey Owners Manual: Precautions for Opening/Closing the Sliding Doors

Always make sure individuals and objects are clear of the sliding doors.

■ Opening the sliding doors
Open the door all the way until it stops.
► If it is not fully opened, the door may close again by its own weight.

WARNING
Closing a sliding door while any part of a passenger is in the door’s path can cause serious injury.

Make sure all passengers are clear of the doorway before closing a sliding door.

Do not leave the sliding door open while parking on a slope. The door may slide close by its weight.

When opening or closing the sliding doors, do not grab the door or place your hand on the vehicle body.

Use the handle.

Do not put your foot and hand on the sliding door rail and on the rollers.

If a small child is in the vehicle, use the childproof door locks to prevent the child in the rear seat from accidentally opening the sliding doors.

Do not put any items that stick out from the pocket in the door pockets. It may prevent the doors from properly opening or closing, and damage the vehicle.
