Doors
Your vehicle has doors with frameless windows.A window micro-descent system is activated
when the door is opened and closed, as soon as
an action is performed on the interior or exterior
door handle.
Opening
From outside

► After unlocking the vehicle or with the
Keyless Entry and Starting electronic key in the
recognition zone, pull the door handle.
The window automatically lowers by a few
millimetres, allowing the door to be sealed when
closed.
If the door remains open for more than
one minute, the window goes back up;
pull the handle again to reactivate the system.
In freezing temperatures, the presence of
ice may interfere with the window micro-
descent system; remove any ice that may
have formed along the seal at the base of the
window, then gently open the door.
When the selective unlocking is
activated, the first press of the remote
control unlocking button permits unlocking of
the driver's door only.
From inside

► Pull the interior opening control of a door; this
unlocks the vehicle completely .
The window automatically comes down by a few
millimetres, allowing the door to be sealed when
closed.
With selective unlocking activated:
– Opening the driver's door unlocks
the driver's door only (if the vehicle has not
already been completely unlocked).
–

Opening one of the passenger doors
unlocks the rest of the vehicle.
Closing

The window automatically goes back up after
a few seconds and adjusts to seal the window
perfectly.
Beware of the risk of trapping your
fingers when the window comes up
automatically.
– If a door is not properly closed, this
warning lamp comes on accompanied by
a message if the engine is running, and an
audible signal when the vehicle is travelling at
more than 6
mph (10 km/h).
When washing the vehicle
First lock the vehicle using the remote
control or remove the electronic key from the
recognition zone, with the doors closed.
Avoid spraying the upper part of the windows.
Keep the end of the high-pressure lance at
least 1 metre away from the door and window
seals.
Clean the door and window seals regularly
with a cloth wetted with demineralised water,
then dry with a soft cloth.
Looking after the seals
From time to time, the rubber door and
window seals must be sprayed with a silicone
type care product to prevent premature wear
and sealing problems.
This also makes the doors easier to open,
especially in winter to prevent freezing.

Access
The rear electric windows can still be controlled
using the driver's controls.
In the event of a serious impact, use of
the rear electric window controls is
re-enabled, if they had been deactivated.
Reinitialising the electric
windows
Following reconnection of the battery, or if
the windows move abnormally, the anti-pinch
function must be reinitialised.
The safety anti-pinch function is not active
during these operations.
For each of the windows:

rise in steps of a few centimetres each time the
control is pressed. Repeat the operation until the
window is fully closed.
► Continue to pull the switch for at least
one second after reaching the window closed
position.
If an electric window meets an obstacle
during operation, the movement of the
window must be reversed. To do this, press
the switch concerned.
When the driver operates the passengers’
electric window switches, it is important to
ensure that nothing can prevent the window

Memorising driving positions
Associated with the electrically-adjusted driver’s
seat, this function allows two driving positions
to be memorised, to make these adjustments
easier if there are frequent driver changes.
It takes account of the electric adjustments of the
seat and the door mirrors.


Using buttons M / 1 / 2
► Enter the vehicle and switch the ignition on.
►

Adjust your seat and the door mirrors.

An audible signal confirms the memorisation.
Memorising a new position cancels the previous
position.
Recalling a stored position
Ignition on or engine running
► Press button 1 or 2 to recall the
corresponding position.
An audible signal sounds when the adjustment
is finished. You can interrupt the current movement by
pressing button
M, 1 or 2 or by using one of the
seat adjustment controls.

ignition is switched off.
Do not use the function when the seat
is not occupied.
Reduce the heating intensity as soon as
possible.
When the seat and passenger compartment
have reached a satisfactory temperature,
switch the function off; reducing electricity
consumption in turn decreases fuel
consumption.
Prolonged use of the heated seats is not
recommended for those with sensitive
skin.
There is a risk of burns for people whose
perception of heat is impaired (illness, taking
medication, etc.).
To keep the heated pad intact and to prevent
a short circuit:
–

do not place sharp or heavy objects on the
seat,
–


do not kneel or stand on the seat,
–


do not spill liquids onto the seat,
–


never use the heating function if the seat
is wet.

Mirrors
Door mirrors
On versions fitted with ‘electrochrome’ mirrors,
a system connected to a brightness sensor
darkens the mirror to reduce the nuisance to the
driver caused by low sun or headlamp beams
from other vehicles.
As a safety measure, the mirrors should be adjusted to reduce the "blind spots".
The objects that you see in the mirrors are
in fact closer than they appear. Take this
into account in order to correctly judge the
distance of vehicles approaching from behind.
Demisting/Defrosting
If the vehicle is so equipped, demisting/
defrosting of the heated door mirrors is
performed when the heated rear screen is
switched on.
For more information on Rear screen
demisting/defrosting , refer to the

3If the interior temperature is very high
after the vehicle has stood for a long
time in the sunshine, air the passenger
compartment for a few moments.
Put the air flow control at a setting high
enough to quickly change the air in the
passenger compartment.
Condensation created by the air
conditioning results in a discharge of
water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly
normal.
Servicing the ventilation and air
conditioning system
►

Ensure that the passenger compartment
filter is in good condition and have the filter
elements replaced regularly

.
We recommend using a composite passenger
compartment filter. Thanks to its special active
additive, this type of filter helps to purify the
air breathed by the occupants and keep the
passenger compartment clean (by reducing
allergic symptoms, unpleasant odours and
greasy deposits).
