After driving for so many years, I'm most familiar with the rear doors of the GL8. The sliding doors come in two types: manual and electric. For manual doors, you just pull the handle and push outward to open; electric doors are more advanced, with a small button on the door—just press it lightly and it slides open automatically. When you want to sit in the back row, press the button with the door icon on the right side of the remote key, and both sliding doors will unlock. While driving, remember to check the child lock—there's a small toggle lever on the side of the door. Flip it up, and the door won't open from the outside, which is essential when traveling with kids. This design is actually quite thoughtful—the opening and closing speed of the automatic doors can be adjusted, just find the vehicle settings in the central control screen.

Once, I almost embarrassed myself while picking up a client—it turns out the rear door handles of the GL8 are hidden under the chrome trim along the window edge! Just slide your finger into the groove to find them. For the electric version, remember not to pull hard; just press the round button on the door frame, wait for the motor to hum, and then push the door open. Hold the unlock button on the remote key for 3 seconds to open all four doors at once, which is super handy on rainy days. If a door won’t open, it’s likely the child lock is engaged—check the small white slider on the side.

The biggest fear when driving a GL8 is that rear passengers don't know how to open the doors. It's actually very simple: look at the middle of the door seam. For manual doors, just pull the black handle directly; for electric doors, it's even easier—press the silver button on the door frame to open and close automatically. A key feature is the sensing function: with the key on you, stand within 1 meter of the car, hold your hand over the indentation on the door handle for 2 seconds to unlock. The new models also have a touch-sensitive area on the B-pillar—just wave your hand to open. These details are especially user-friendly for the elderly.

When I first got the car, I was confused too, but later discovered the trick to the sliding door lies entirely in the B-pillar. The small black block is a mechanical switch—just rotate it to open the door manually. For the electric version, you need to first unlock the rear seats via the central console, and wait until the door icon lights up on the dashboard before using the button controls. On the remote, press the unlock button twice: the first press unlocks the driver’s door, and the second press unlocks the rear. Need to carry luggage? Here’s the trick—when your hands are full, use your elbow to press the indentation on the door handle, and leverage it to open the door.

Friends often ask how to open the electric doors when riding in my car. The actual operation is simpler than imagined: After unlocking the car, lightly press the rubber button inside the door handle, wait for a beep, release, and let it slide open automatically. To close, pull the groove on the door frame to trigger the sensor. For temporary parking adjustments, use the button on the driver's seat—press the key marked with a door symbol above the left knee to open. Always set the child lock when traveling with kids: Open the rear door, push the metal rod on the door edge upwards, and the door won't open from the outside.
