The electric controls are inhibited in the
event of an impact. Manual opening and
closing remain possible.
While starting the engine, the movement
of a door is interrupted and restored once
the engine is running.Depending on the engine, in
Stop mode of Stop & Start,
if the door is closed and you
initiate opening of the door, the
door opens partially and stops.
When the engine changes
automatically to Start mode, the
door continues its movement.The doors and the overall
dimensions of the vehicle
When open, a door projects beyond the body.
Be sure to take this into account when you park
alongside a wall, a post or a high kerb, etc.
When open, a door never projects beyond
the rear bumper.
Safety/Obstacle detection with
electric door(s)
The obstacle detection system is triggered
when the moving door encounters an obstacle
with a certain level of physical resistance.
-
I
f an obstacle is detected while the door is
closing, the door stops then opens fully.
-

I
f an obstacle is detected while the door is
opening, the door stops and then closes.
-

I
f an obstacle is detected twice in
succession during a movement of the door,
it will no longer close electrically. This
resets the door.
O

n a steep slope: a safety system slows
down the movement of the door.
I

n any case, wait a few seconds before
operating the door (closing or opening).

Close the door manually for safety reasons.
Then reinitialise the door.
Reinitialising electric doors
If electrical operations no longer work,
the doors must be closed manually then
reinitialised:
F
F
ully close the door(s) manually.
F

F
ully open the door(s) manually.
F

C
lose the door(s) electrically.
On completion of this procedure, electric
operation of the doors is restored.
However, if a problem persists following this
procedure, contact a CITROËN dealer or a
qualified workshop.
Fuel filler flap
If your vehicle is equipped with one, do not
open the sliding left side door when the
fuel filler flap is open, other wise there is a
risk that the fuel filler flap and the sliding
door will be damaged and the person
filling up will be injured.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you open
the left side door, a mechanism prevents it
being opened.
The door can be opened half way
h o w eve r.
With a mechanical door, close the fuel
filler flap again to regain use of the door.
With an electrical door, in order to be able
to use it correctly, close the fuel filler flap
then press an opening button.
On a steep slope
It is possible to open and close doors
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the
front of the vehicle facing up, open the door
with care. The door may open more quickly due
to the incline.
On a steep slope, guide the side door manually
to help it to close.
Access

65
However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the
front of the vehicle facing down, the door may
not stay open and may close again jerkily with
the risk of injury.In the case of a steep slope, the door
may be driven by its own weight and as a
consequence may open or close jerkily.
There would not be time for action at the
electric controls to take effect.
There would not be time for the
obstacle detection system to react.
Take care not to leave the vehicle on a
steep slope with the door(s) open without
supervision. If this advice is not followed,
injuries or damage may occur if a person
or an object is trapped or caught.
