Unlock the side door using this handle
and open it, guiding the rearward
sliding to the point of resistance. Pass
this point to hold the door open.

Close the side door using the handle
to start the sliding and pass the point
of resistance. Then, use the shaped

SLIDING SIDE DOORS

From the outside

Pull the handle towards you then
towards the rear and open the side
door guiding the rearward sliding to

Good practice

Take care not to block the guide space
on the fl oor to allow the door to slide
correctly.
If your vehicle is parked on a slope,
guide the sliding of the side door. In
fact, the door could open or close more
rapidly due to the slope of the ground
and could cause injury.
For safety and operation reasons, do
not drive with the sliding side doors
open.

direction who may not
have seen your vehicle,
use a warning triangle
or other device required
by the legislation in your
country.

In practice

It is possible to drive with the right-
hand door open to make it easier to
carry long loads. The left-hand door is
kept closed by the distinctive "yellow"
lock, positioned at the base of the door.
This closed door must not be used as
a load retainer.
Driving with the right-hand door open
is a special dispensation. Comply with
the usual safety indications to warn
other drivers.
