Advice
Remote control
The remote control is a sensitive, high-
frequency device; avoid handling it in your
pocket, due to the risk of unintentionally
unlocking the vehicle.
Avoid pressing the remote control buttons
while out of range of the vehicle, due to
the risk of rendering the remote control
inoperative. It would then be necessary to
reset it.
The remote control does not work
when the
key is in the ignition switch, even when the
ignition is switched off.
Anti-theft protection
Do not modify the electronic vehicle
immobiliser, as this might result in
malfunctions.
For vehicles with a key ignition switch,
remember to remove the key and turn the
steering wheel to engage the steering lock.
Locking the vehicle
Driving with the doors locked could make
it more difficult for the emergency services
to enter the passenger compartment in an
emergency.
As a safety precaution, remove the key from
the ignition or take the electronic key with you
when leaving the vehicle, even for a short
time.
Purchasing a second-hand vehicle
Have the key codes memorised by a
CITROËN dealer, to ensure that the keys in
your possession are the only ones able to
start the vehicle.

Total unlocking unlocks all the vehicle’s doors
(front, side and rear).
Selective unlocking unlocks either the cab doors,
or the doors of the loading area (side and rear).
The separated unlocking system between cab and loading area is a
security measure. This prevents access to the
part of the vehicle where the driver is not
present.

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
