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
beyond the point of resistance to hold
it open.
A mechanical system prevents opening
of the left-hand side door when the fuel
fi ller fl ap is open.
From the inside
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
recess at the top of the door pillar to
guide the door until it locks.
Do not use the grab handle to slide the
door.
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.

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.

is a special dispensation. Comply with
the usual safety indications to warn
other drivers.

the doors mask the rear
lamps. To signal your
position to other road
users driving in the same
direction who may not
have seen your vehicle,
use a warning triangle
or other device required
by the legislation in your
country.
