General recommendations
The doors must only be operated when 
the vehicle is stationary.
For your safety and for 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, illumination of 
the "door open" warning lamp and the 
message in the multifunction screen are 
there to remind you. Contact a CITROËN 
dealer or a qualified workshop to 
deactivate these warnings.
Lock your vehicle when using an 
automatic car wash. Before opening or closing or per forming 
any movement of the doors, ensure that 
no person, animal or object is in the door 
frame or can block the desired movement, 
inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, injuries or 
damage may occur if a person or an 
object is trapped or caught.
The doors cannot be opened electrically 
above 2
  mph (3   km/h):
-
 
B
 ut if the doors remained open when 
starting, the speed must fall below 
19
  mph (30   km/h) before they can be 
closed.
-
 
A
 ny attempt to open a door electrically 
using the interior handle while driving 
results in it only being possible to open 
the door manually.
-
 
T
 his situation is accompanied by the 
audible warning, illumination of the 
"door open" warning lamp and the 
message in the multifunction screen. 
To release the door and be able to 
operate it again, it is necessary to stop 
the vehicle.

The electric controls are inhibited in the 
event of an impact. Manual opening and 
closing remain possible.
While starting the engine, the movement 
of a door is interrupted and restored once 
the engine is running.Depending on the engine, in 
Stop mode of Stop & Start, 
if the door is closed and you 
initiate opening of the door, the 
door opens partially and stops. 
When the engine changes 
automatically to Start mode, the 
door continues its movement.The doors and the overall 
dimensions of the vehicle
When open, a door projects beyond the body. 
Be sure to take this into account when you park 
alongside a wall, a post or a high kerb, etc.
When open, a door never projects beyond 
the rear bumper.
Safety/Obstacle detection with 
electric door(s)
The obstacle detection system is triggered 
when the moving door encounters an obstacle 
with a certain level of physical resistance.
- 
I
 f an obstacle is detected while the door is 
closing, the door stops then opens fully.
-
 
I
 f an obstacle is detected while the door is 
opening, the door stops and then closes.
-
 
I
 f an obstacle is detected twice in 
succession during a movement of the door, 
it will no longer close electrically. This 
resets the door.
 O
n a steep slope: a safety system slows 
down the movement of the door.
 I
n any case, wait a few seconds before 
operating the door (closing or opening).

Close the door manually for safety reasons.
Then reinitialise the door.
Reinitialising electric doors
If electrical operations no longer work, 
the doors must be closed manually then 
reinitialised:
F 
F
 ully close the door(s) manually.
F
 
F
 ully open the door(s) manually.
F
 
C
 lose the door(s) electrically.
On completion of this procedure, electric 
operation of the doors is restored.
However, if a problem persists following this 
procedure, contact a CITROËN dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
Fuel filler flap
If your vehicle is equipped with one, do not 
open the sliding left side door when the 
fuel filler flap is open, other wise there is a 
risk that the fuel filler flap and the sliding 
door will be damaged and the person 
filling up will be injured.
If the fuel filler flap is open and you open 
the left side door, a mechanism prevents it 
being opened.
The door can be opened half way 
h o w eve r.
With a mechanical door, close the fuel 
filler flap again to regain use of the door.
With an electrical door, in order to be able 
to use it correctly, close the fuel filler flap 
then press an opening button.
On a steep slope
It is possible to open and close doors 
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the 
front of the vehicle facing up, open the door 
with care. The door may open more quickly due 
to the incline.
On a steep slope, guide the side door manually 
to help it to close. 
Access  
Page 67 of 400

65
However, if your vehicle is on a slope, with the 
front of the vehicle facing down, the door may 
not stay open and may close again jerkily with 
the risk of injury.In the case of a steep slope, the door 
may be driven by its own weight and as a 
consequence may open or close jerkily.
There would not be time for action at the 
electric controls to take effect.
There would not be time for the 
obstacle detection system to react.
Take care not to leave the vehicle on a 
steep slope with the door(s) open without 
supervision. If this advice is not followed, 
injuries or damage may occur if a person 
or an object is trapped or caught.
Hands-free sliding side 
d o o r (s)
The automatic locking after closing the 
door is programmable in the vehicle 
configuration menu. Before making the movement with your 
foot, ensure that you are steady and well

Take care not to touch the exhaust tailpipe 
when making the movement with your foot 
– risk of burns.
F  
P
 ut your foot beneath the corner of the rear 
bumper, then move your foot at normal 
speed with a side sweep movement.
The sensor detects your foot approaching and 
leaving and triggers opening or closing of the 
side door.
By keeping the remote control on your person 
and with a movement of your foot, the system 
unlocks and opens the sliding side door or 
closes and locks it.
The remote control must be located at the rear 
of the vehicle, more than about 30
