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.

44
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.
