Fail-Safe Function

When a power sliding door is in the half-latched position, the obstruction detection function is off. If the corresponding power sliding door control unit receives any signal from the dash switch, the remote control switch (inner or outer sliding door handles), or the factory keyless receiver while in the half latched position, the control unit sounds the buzzer 3 times and activates the release motor. The release motor pulls the fail-safe lever to mechanically disengage the closer motor from the latch. Once the latch and the closer motor are disengaged, the slide motor will partially open the door (about one foot).
