General recommendations
The doors must only be operated when
the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and for that of your
passengers, as well as for correct
operation of the doors, you are strongly
advised not to drive with a door open.
Always check that it is safe to operate the
door and in particular, be sure not to leave
children or animals near the door controls
without supervision.
The audible warning, illumination of
the "door open" warning lamp and the
message in the multifunction screen are
there to remind you. Contact a PEUGEOT
dealer or a qualified workshop to
deactivate these warnings.
Lock your vehicle when using an
automatic car wash.Before opening or closing or per forming
any movement of the doors, ensure that
no person, animal or object is in the door
frame or can block the desired movement,
inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a person or an
object is trapped or caught.
The doors cannot be opened electrically

starting, the speed must fall below
19
mph (30 km/h) before they can be
closed.

audible warning, illumination of the
"door open" warning lamp and the
message in the multifunction screen.
To release the door and be able to
operate it again, it is necessary to stop
the vehicle. 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.

alongside a wall, a post or a high kerb, etc.When open, a door never projects beyond
the rear bumper.

closing, the door stops then opens fully.
-

I

f an obstacle is detected while the door is

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.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.
