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, the illumination
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
can be closed.
-
A
ny attempt to open a door electrically
using the interior handle while driving
results in it only being possible to open
the door manually.
-
I
n this case, the audible warning will be
given, accompanied by the illumination
of the "door open" warning lamp and
the message on the screen. To release
the door and be able to operate it
again, it is necessary to stop the
vehicle.

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.
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 continues
once the engine is running.Depending on the engine, if the
door is closed and an attempt
is made to open it in Stop mode
of Stop & Start, the door opens
partially and stops. In Start mode,
when the engine restarts, the
door continues its movement.
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).Doors and their obstruction Safety/Obstacle detection
with electric door(s)
When open, a door projects beyond the body.
Be sure to take this into account when parking
alongside a wall, a post or a high kerb, etc.
When open, a door never projects beyond
the rear bumper. The obstacle detection system is triggered
when the moving door encounters an obstacle
with a certain level of physical resistance. If an
obstacle is detected:
-
w
hile the door is closing, the door stops
then opens fully.
-
w
hile the door is opening, the door stops
then closes.
-
t
wice in succession during a movement
of the door, the door will no longer close
electrically (uninitialisation).
On a steep slope: a safety system slows down
the movement of the door.
In all cases, 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:
F
F
ully close the door(s) manually .
F
F
ully open the door(s) electrically .
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.
On a steep slope
It is possible to open and close the doors
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
If the vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the
vehicle facing up the slope, 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.
If your vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the
vehicle facing down the slope, the door may not
stay open and may close violently
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
violently .
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.
Hands-free sliding side

Before making the movement with your
foot, ensure that you are steady and well
positioned, so that you do not lose your
balance (rain, snow, ice, mud, etc.).
Take care not to touch the exhaust tailpipe
when making the movement with your
foot - risk of burns.
Make the movement without interruption
and do not repeat it immediately
after wards or several times.
If the door does not open, wait about
2
seconds before trying again.
Do not keep the foot in the air.
Automatic locking

screen
By default, hands-free access is activated.
The "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"
function or automatic vehicle locking
when the sliding door is closed is
activated and deactivated via the
vehicle configuration menu.
Operating fault

indicates a fault with the system.
Contact a CITROËN dealer or a qualified
workshop to have the system checked.
F
P
ut your foot beneath the corner of the rear
bumper, then move the foot at normal speed
with a sweeping side movement.
The sensor detects the foot approaching and
leaving and triggers the opening or closing of
the side door. Confirmation that the door is going to
open or close is signalled by the direction
indicators flashing for a few seconds,
accompanied by an audible signal.
The movement of the door is reversed
if the movement of the foot takes place
during the manoeuvre.
If the vehicle is so equipped, the electric
door mirrors fold/unfold on locking/
unlocking the vehicle.
If your vehicle is not fitted with an alarm,
locking is confirmed by fixed illumination
of the direction indicators for about two
seconds.
Depending on your version, the door
mirrors fold at the same time.

f a "Keyless Entry and Starting"
remote control is inside the vehicle.
If a number of actions with your foot have
no effect, wait a few seconds before
starting again.
The system is automatically deactivated in
heavy rain or with accumulations of snow.
If it does not work, make sure that the
remote control is not exposed to a
source of electromagnetic interference
(smartphone, etc.).
Operation may be affected if using a
prosthetic leg.
This system may not work correctly if the
