HONDA 2009 Odyssey - Manual (Page 167)

You can manually open or close the
sliding doors. The MAIN switch
must be in the OFF position. To
open a door, pull the inside or
outside door handle, and slide the
door back. It will latch in the fully
open position. To close, pull either
handle and slide the door forward.
When the door is almost closed, the
auto-closer will pull the door shut.
If there is an obstacle in the door sill,
the power sliding door may not open
or close properly. When removing
the obstacle from the door sill, make
sure to turn off the main switch on
the dashboard.
When replacing a flat tire, make sure
to turn off the power sliding door
main switch on the dashboard.
Do not allow anyone to step on the
lower arm of the sliding door while
the door is open. This could damage
the sliding door mechanism.
When you drive with children in your
vehicle, use the childproof door
locks (see page
). This will
prevent children from opening the
doors accidentally.
Do not put any item in the door
pocket that sticks out from the
pocket. It can prevent the doors from
opening or closing properly, and
damage the vehicle body.
Before operating the sliding doors,
check that passengers, especially
children, do not have their hands on
the edge of the sliding door or on the
door pillar. The auto-reverse motor
stops working when the door is
about to latch so the auto-closer can
pull the door shut.
