General  
recommendations for the  
sliding side doors  
Driving with the doors locked may render  
access by the emergency services to the  
interior difficult in an emergency.  
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.  
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 PEUGEOT  
dealer or a qualified workshop to  
deactivate these warnings.  
Carrying long or voluminous objects  
If you want to drive with the boot open, you  
should press the central locking button  
to lock the doors. Otherwise, every time  
the speed of the vehicle exceeds 6 mph  
(10 km/h), the locks will rebound and the  
alerts mentioned above will appear.  
Pressing the central locking button  
unlocks the vehicle.  
Above 6 mph (10 km/h), this unlocking is  
temporary.  
Opening to approximately 180°  
Lock your vehicle when using an  
automatic car wash.

Access  
The doors and the overall  
dimensions of the vehicle  
On a steep slope  
Before opening or closing or performing  
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.  
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.  
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.  
Take care not to block the guide space  
on the floor to allow the door to slide  
correctly.  
As a safety measure and for 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  
locking device (located at the bottom of  
the door).  
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 violently. Always  
ensure that you keep hold of it to prevent it  
closing again accidentally.  
When open, a door never projects beyond  
the rear bumper.
