General
recommendations for the
sliding side doors
Doors must only be operated when the
vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and 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 lighting of the "door
open" warning lamp and the message on the
screen are there to remind you. Contact a

Access
2CITROËN dealer or a qualified workshop if
you want to deactivate this warning.
Lock the vehicle when you use an automatic
car wash.
Before opening or closing and while
moving doors, ensure that no person,
animal or object is in the door frame or any
other position that would block the desired
movement, inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or
damage may occur if any part of a person or
an object is trapped or caught.
Electrical door opening is disabled at speeds
above 2 mph (3 km/h):
–
However
, if the vehicle started moving
while the doors were open, the speed must
be reduced below 19 mph (30
km/h) before
they can be closed.
–
Any attempt to open a door electrically
using the interior handle while driving results
in it only being possible to open the door
manually
.
–
This situation is accompanied by the
audible warning, the lighting 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 so that the door can slide
correctly.
For safety and functional reasons, do not
drive with the sliding side door open.
The electric controls are disabled in the event of an impact. Manual opening and
closing remain possible.
While starting the engine, door
movements are paused, resuming when
the engine is running.
Depending on the engine fitted, if
the door is closed and an opening
request is issued in Stop mode of Stop &
Start, the door will open slightly and then
stop. In Start mode, the door will resume its
movement when the engine re-starts.
To hold the sliding side door in the open position, open the door fully to engage
the latch (located at the bottom of the door).
Doors and door clearances
When open, a door projects beyond the body.
Allow adequate clearance when parking
alongside walls, lamp-posts, high pavements,
etc.
When open, a door never projects
beyond the rear bumper.

internal surface of the glass of the headlamps
and rear lamps is normal, and will disappear
after the lamps have been on for a few
minutes.

Safety
General safety
recommendations
Do not remove the labels attached in
different places on your vehicle. They
include safety warnings as well as
identification information for the vehicle.
For all work on your vehicle, use a
qualified workshop that has the technical
information, skills and equipment required, all
of which a CITROËN dealer is able to
provide.
Depending on country regulations,
certain safety equipment may be
mandatory: high visibility safety vests,
warning triangles, breathalysers, spare bulbs,
spare fuses, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, mud
flaps at the rear of the vehicle, etc.
Installing electrical accessories:
– The fitting of electrical equipment or
accessories not approved by CITROËN may
cause excessive current consumption and
faults and failures with the electrical system
of your vehicle. Contact a CITROËN dealer
for information on the range of approved
accessories.

of malfunctions of the vehicle's electronic
systems that could cause breakdowns or
serious accidents). The Manufacturer cannot
be held responsible if this advice is not
followed.

Any modification or adaptation not intended
or authorised by CITROËN or carried out
without meeting the technical requirements
defined by the Manufacturer will result in the
suspension of the commercial warranty
