From outside

► After unlocking the vehicle or with the
Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key in the

The window automatically lowers by a few
millimetres, allowing the door to be sealed when
closed.
If the door remains open for more than

warning lamp comes on accompanied by
a message if the engine is running, and an
audible signal when the vehicle is travelling at
more than 6
mph (10 km/h).
When washing the vehicle
First lock the vehicle using the remote
control or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the doors closed.
Avoid spraying the upper part of the windows.
Keep the end of the high-pressure lance at
least 1 metre away from the door and window
seals.
Clean the door and window seals regularly
with a cloth wetted with demineralised water,
then dry with a soft cloth.
Looking after the seals
From time to time, the rubber door and
window seals must be sprayed with a silicone
type care product to prevent premature wear
and sealing problems.
This also makes the doors easier to open,
especially in winter to prevent freezing.
