## Narrative
The passenger sliding door pinch sensor did activate; but not before child’s hand was pinched in door and it almost drew blood.   Door closes forcefully I have noticed compared to other minivan experiences I have with automatic doors. Quite a bit of force is needed to activate the sensor and cause the door to open back up. It needs to be more sensitive to avoid injury.
