Side-hinged doors
Keeping the left-hand door closed with the
right-hand door open
It is possible to drive with the right-hand
door open, to enable the transportation
of long loads.
The left-hand door is kept closed by the
distinctive "yellow" lock, positioned at the
base of the door.
This closed door must not be used to retain
loads.
Driving with the right-hand door open is a
special dispensation. Please comply with the
usual safety instructions on how to warn other
drivers.
Opening to approximately 180°
If fitted to your vehicle, a check strap system
allows the doors to be opened from about 90° to
about 180°.
►
Pull the yellow control when the door is open.
The check strap will engage again automatically
on closing.
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.

Access
The audible warning, the lighting 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 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.
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.
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).
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.
On a steep slope
Take care when opening doors while the vehicle
is on a slope facing uphill. The sloping terrain
could cause the door to open more quickly than
usual.
On a steep slope, manually guide the side door
to help it to close.
If the vehicle is on a slope facing downhill,
the door may not stay open, instead closing
suddenly, with a risk of injury. Always hold
the door to ensure that it does not close
unexpectedly.
On a steep slope, the door's weight may
cause it to move, opening or closing
suddenly as a result.
Avoid leaving the vehicle unsupervised on a
steep slope with one or more doors open. If
this advice is not followed, injuries or damage
may occur if a person or an object is trapped
or caught.

Ease of use and comfort
General
recommendations for the
seats
For safety reasons, seat adjustments
must only be made when the vehicle is
stationary.
Folding or unfolding the seat backrests
must only be done with the vehicle
stationary.
Before moving the seat backwards,
ensure that there is no person or object
that might prevent the full travel of the seat.
There is a risk of trapping or pinching
passengers if present in the rear seats or of
jamming the seat if large objects are placed
on the floor behind the seat.
Do not place hard or heavy objects on
the backrests forming a table. They could
become dangerous projectiles in the event of
sudden braking or a collision.
–
Do not remove a head restraint without
stowing it; secure it to a support inside the
vehicle.
–
Check that the seat belts remain accessible
to the passenger and easy to fasten.
–
Passengers must never take their seat
without adjusting and fastening their seat belt.
– In row 3, be careful not to leave your feet
under the row 2 seat while it is being tilted.
–
When a row 3 seat is in the fully folded
position, ensure that the strap is correctly
hooked to the
Top Tether fixing of the row 2
backrest: risk of unexpected tipping of the
seat.
Before carrying out the manoeuvres,
check that nothing and no one is
obstructing the moving elements and their
locking.
To avoid sudden folding, take care to hold the
backrest and support it until it is horizontal.
Never put your hand underneath the seat
cushion to guide the seat downwards or
upwards, you could get your fingers trapped.
Place your hand on the grip/strap (depending
on equipment) at the top of the seat cushion.
Please note: an incorrectly latched
backrest compromises the safety of
passengers in the event of sudden braking or
an impact.
The contents of the boot may be thrown
forward - risk of severe injury!
Front seats

following order:
–
head restraint height.
–
seat backrest angle.
–
seat cushion height.
–
longitudinal seat position.
–
steering wheel height and reach.
–
rear view mirror and door mirrors.
Once these adjustments have been
made, check that the instrument panel
can be viewed correctly from your driving
position.
