It unlocks when one of the
doors is opened if the speed is below
3 mph (5 km/h) or when the central
locking button on the centre console
is pressed.
When the door has stopped in an
intermediate position (neither fully
open nor fully closed), only the re-
mote control or the controls per-
mit electric operation of the door.
When closing requests are made
when the door is in a partially open
position, the door may open slightly
before closing.
When closing a door electrically when
the battery is low, you are advised to
guide the door manually. Recharge
the battery as soon as possible.

tialise the door(s) as follows:
1. Start the engine.
2. Manually open the door(s) fully.
3. Close the door(s) fully.
