of the "door open" warning lamp and
the message on the screen are there to
remind you. Contact a CITROËN dealer or
a qualified workshop to have this warning
deactivated.
Lock the 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
window frame or could block the desired
movement, inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if a part of the body or
an object is trapped or caught.
The doors cannot be opened electrically
above 2 mph (3
km/h ):
-
H
owever, if the doors remained open
when starting, the speed must fall
below 19 mph (30
km/h) before they
