32Keys, doors and windowsEmergency exit
In an emergency, the sliding side door
can be opened manually after
releasing the interior handle.
Alternatively, if the vehicle is
unlocked, open the door using the
exterior handle (depending on model variant). Lift the handle (3) to the
second notch position, then slide the
door backwards using the handle (2)
near the front edge of the door.
Reset
If the door has been opened
manually, the power sliding door
system must be reset.
Open the sliding side door halfway
and move the relevant handle to the
first notch position. The warning light
illuminates in the instrument panel.
Then press the button (1) on the relevant handle.
Move the handle back and forth to
ensure the door actuator motor
operates, then press and hold the
switch on the instrument panel to fully
close the door. The warning light
extinguishes when the system is
reset correctly.
Maintenance
It is the owner's responsibility to have
the drive belt replaced after every
25,000 cycles, and for this purpose a
counter is incorporated in the lower B- pillar. The counter is incremented at
Page 35 of 249

Keys, doors and windows33each opening and closing, it is not
possible to reset the counter. Seek
the assistance of a workshop.
If the drive belt should fail, the door
may still be opened and closed
manually.
Fault
If a system fault is detected when
unlocking the doors, an audible
warning will sound and the LED in the
switch illuminates. Check position of
exterior handle. Reset handle if in the
open position and use key to operate door locks.
Seek the assistance of a workshop if
the fault remains.
Power side step9 Warning
Take care when using the power
side step, particularly in wet and
cold weather conditions.
The power side step operates
automatically when the sliding door is opened or closed.
9 Warning
Ensure there is adequate
clearance to allow the power side
step to fully extend and retract
without obstruction.
The indicator illuminates during
operation of the power side step. If it
remains illuminated with the door
closed, the step has not retracted, or
the door has not fully latched into its
locking position.
In the event of a failure, manually retract the power side step by
unscrewing the orange handwheel
located at the rear of the step,
ensuring that there are no obstacles
preventing closure. When the step is
retracted, screw in the orange
handwheel. Seek the assistance of a
workshop.
