recommendations for the
sliding side doors
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 CITROËN
dealer or a qualified workshop to
deactivate these warnings.
Lock your vehicle when using an
automatic car wash.
It is possible to drive with the right-hand
door open, to enable the transportation of
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 to
retain loads.
Driving with the right-hand door open is a
special dispensation. Please comply with
the usual safety instructions on how to
warn other drivers. If fitted to your vehicle, a check strap system
allows the doors to be opened from about 90°
to about 180°.

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.
Take care not to block the guide space
on the floor to allow the door to slide
c o r r e c t l y.
As a safety measure and for functional
reasons, do not drive with the sliding side
door open.
To hold the sliding side door in the open
position, open the door fully to engage the
locking device (located at the bottom of
the door).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.
On a steep slope
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.
When open, a door never projects beyond
the rear bumper. 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 violently
. Always
ensure that you keep hold of it to prevent it
closing again accidentally.
