Abstract: In the present control method, by measuring the sliding quantity of a sliding door until the sliding door reaches a door-open end DOE after passing a holder check point HCP, a distance Y from the HCP to the DOE is found. A distance Z′ from the HCP to the opening speed final decelerating position FDP is found from the relation between the distance Y and a specified distance Z by calculation. By the next door opening operation, when the sliding door has passed the HCP and the sliding quantity from the HCP becomes equal to the distance Z′, the controller 32 judges that the sliding door has reached the final decelerating position FDP, and decelerates the sliding door.
