FORD 2006 Freestar v.1 - Manual (Page 61)

To power close the PSD with the inside or outside release handle:
• Manually pull the door about 6 inches in the desired direction of
travel. The power door assist will take over and complete the open or
close operation.
Pressing any of the switches, overhead console, second row passenger, or
remote entry transmitter while the door is moving will cause the door to
either reverse direction or stop depending on the position and direction
of movement of the door.
To power open or close the PSD with the remote entry
transmitter:
Refer to the Remote entry system section in this chapter. Operating the
transmitter will also simultaneously unlock the doors.
Disabling PSD power operation
Pressing the Power Door Lockout Control to the OFF position prevents
power operation of the PSD using the rear seat control(s), inside or
outside handle or by manually moving the door. With the PSD rear
controls disabled, the door(s) can be opened manually with the inside or
outside handles. With the Power Door Lockout control in the OFF
position, the overhead console right and left hand controls and the
Remote Entry System remain functional. Disabling the PSD may be
desirable to prevent power operation of the door by rear seat passengers
or if manual operation of the door is desired or necessary when the
vehicle is stopped or parked on a steep downhill grade.
Refer to the Manual operation of the sliding door section in this
chapter for more information.
With the child safety lock engaged, the inside handle operation will
always be disabled regardless of the position of the Power Door Lockout
control. Refer to the Sliding door child safety lock section in this
chapter for more information. The trim mounted rear seat control and
the outside handle remain functional for power operation.
Safety/Obstructions
If anything obstructs the Power Sliding Door while it is power closing or
opening, the door will automatically reverse or stop depending on the
position of the door, provided it meets sufficient resistance.
