In this video, we demonstrate the Safe Close® system in action, showcasing how it protects your hand—even in the pouring rain. While wet conditions can often interfere with traditional sensor systems, the Safe Close® technology is designed to perform flawlessly, ensuring the van’s sliding door will never pinch, crush, or trap anything in its path. Rain, sleet, or snow—this innovative system guarantees that fingers, hands, and even paws are protected from accidental injury.

As the video shows, Safe Close® uses advanced sensors to detect any object or body part in the door’s way, automatically stopping and reversing its motion before contact can cause harm. Whether you’re quickly loading up the van on a rainy day or just trying to shield yourself from the elements, you can trust that Safe Close® will protect not only your loved ones but also delicate items like umbrellas, bags, or gear that might get caught in the door. Rain or shine, Safe Close® ensures a smooth, safe, and stress-free experience every time you close your van’s sliding door.

Introducing Hot Dog Safe Close™: Protecting Passengers and Pets Alike

Safe Close™ system ensures your van’s sliding door operates with maximum safety, preventing accidental pinching, crushing, or trapping of body parts like hands, fingers, or paws. Designed with advanced sensors and intelligent detection technology, this innovative system will automatically stop and reverse the door’s motion if it encounters resistance from any object, person, or animal. Whether it’s a playful child or an excited pet, the Safe Close™ guarantees there’s no risk of injury or damage to the van’s sliding door or its surroundings.

 In the accompanying demonstration video, you’ll see a side-by-side comparison of the sliding door’s behavior with and without this safety feature. Without the Safe Close™, the door closes with force on the hot dog, potentially pinching objects in its path. However, once the system is activated, the van’s sliding door detects even the slightest obstruction, ensuring it never applies harmful pressure or causes damage. This intelligent protection extends to inanimate objects too, preventing damage to items like bags or strollers left in the door’s path. With this revolutionary safety feature, you can have peace of mind knowing that every door operation is smooth, secure, and risk-free. The Safe Close™ system not only protects passengers but also preserves the integrity of your van’s door, reducing wear and tear over time and eliminating costly repairs due to accidental impacts.
