Kia Sedona: Automatic stop and reversal

If the power opening or closing is blocked by an object or part of the body, the power sliding door and power tailgate will detect the resistance, chime 3 times, and then either stop or move to the full open position.

However, if the resistance is weak such as an object that is thin or soft, or the door is near latched position, the automatic stop and reversal may not detect the resistance and closing operation will continue. Also, if the power sliding door or power tailgate is forced by strong impact, the automatic stop and reversal may operate.

If the automatic stop and reversal feature operates continuously more than twice during one opening or closing operation, the power sliding door or power tailgate may stop at that position. At this time, close the doors manually and operate the door automatically again.
