FORD 2003 Windstar v.3 - Manual (Page 49)

Manual door operation when vehicle is stopped or parked on a
downhill grade
In some cases it may be necessary
to have someone hold the door
while rear seat passengers are
entering or exiting the vehicle. The
hold open mechanism will restrain
the door open when the vehicle is
parked on moderate downhill
grades. On more severe grades,
the operator should ensure that
the open door is stable and
secure against the stop, before
allowing passengers to enter or exit the vehicle or before
loading/unloading cargo.
Vehicle operation with the door in the open position is not
recommended. Abrupt vehicle acceleration or deceleration could cause
the door to move suddenly and could result in injury or damage to the
door.
If the vehicle is parked on a downhill grade, the door could slam
shut and could result in injury or damage to the door. Ensure
that the open door is secure against the stop before allowing
passengers to enter or exit the vehicle.
Power Sliding Door (PSD) (if equipped)
With this option, you can open and close the sliding door(s) with the
controls inside your vehicle. With the remote keyless entry system, you
can also operate the PSD with the remote transmitter. Refer to Remote
Entry System in the Locks and security chapter.
The PSD feature has control(s)
accessible by passengers in the
second row seating positions. The
control(s) are located on the trim
panel in front of the sliding door.
Press and release the control to
open the PSD on either side of the
vehicle.
