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.
The audible warning, the lighting of the "door 
open" warning lamp and the message on the 
screen are there to remind you. Contact a   CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Access
PEUGEOT 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.
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 
 
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.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

2Safety/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. If an obstacle 
is detected:
– 
while the door is closing, the door stops then 
opens fully
.
–
 
while the door is opening, the door stops then 
closes.
–
 
twice in succession during a movement of the 
door
, the door will no longer close electrically 
(uninitialisation).
On a steep slope: a safety system slows down 
the movement of the door.
In all cases, 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:
►  Fully close the door(s)  manually
.►
 
Fully open the door(s) 
electrically
 .
►  
Close 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 PEUGEOT dealer or a 
qualified workshop.
On a steep slope 
 
It is possible to open and close the doors 
electrically on slopes of up to a 20% gradient.
If the vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the 
vehicle facing up the slope, 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.
 
 
If your vehicle is on a slope, with the front of the 
vehicle facing down the slope, the door may not 
stay open and may close  violently 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  violently.
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.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m

Hands-free sliding side 
door(s)
Opening/Closing 
 
With a movement of your foot while keeping the 
remote control on your person in the recognition 
zone  A, 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, at least about 30
  cm but no more 
than about 2
  m from the vehicle.
The automatic locking after closing the door can be programmed in the vehicle 
configuration menu.
Before making the movement with your 
foot, ensure that you are steady and well 
positioned, so that you do not lose your 
balance (rain, snow, ice, mud, etc.).
Take care not to touch the exhaust tailpipe 
when making the movement with your foot - 
risk of burns.
 
 
► Put your foot beneath the corner of the rear 
bumper , then move the foot at normal speed with 
a sweeping side movement.
The sensor detects the foot approaching and 
leaving and triggers the opening or closing of the 
side door.
Make the movement without interruption 
and do not repeat it immediately 
afterwards or several times.
If the door does not open, wait about 
2
 
seconds before trying again.
Do not keep the foot in the air.
Confirmation that the door is going to 
open or close is signalled by the direction 
indicators flashing for a few seconds, 
accompanied by an audible signal.
The movement of the door is reversed if the 
movement of the foot takes place during the 
manoeuvre.
If the vehicle is so equipped, the electric door 
mirrors fold/unfold on locking/unlocking the 
vehicle.
Automatic locking
The vehicle locks itself following the hands-free 
closing of the sliding door.
If your vehicle is not fitted with an alarm, 
locking is signalled by the fixed 
illumination of the direction indicators for 
about two seconds.
Depending on your version, the door mirrors 
fold at the same time.
Activation/Deactivation
With audio system or touch screen
By default, hands-free access is activated.The  "Hands-Free Tailgate Access"  function or automatic vehicle 
locking when the sliding door is closed is 
activated and deactivated via the vehicle 
configuration menu.  CarM an uals 2 .c o m
