Behaviour in the case of a
steep slope
It is possible to open and close the
doors electrically up to a gradient of
20 %.
In the case of a steep slope,
the door may be driven by its
own weight and as a conse-
quence may open or close
sharply. Therefore:
There would not be time for
operation of one of the electric
controls
to
be
taken
into
account.
There would not be time for the
obstacle detection system to be
triggered.
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 part of the body or an ob-
ject is trapped or caught.
In the event of an impact
The electric controls are deactivated
in the event of an impact. Manual
opening and closing is still possible.
Special features of operation
With the ignition off,
doors open, power consuming
equipment on (radio, lights…),
or
doors in an intermediate position
(door neither fully open nor fully
closed).
After 30 minutes, the vehicle auto-
matically switches to energy economy
mode.
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 in-
cline of the ground.
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 sharply with the
risk of injury.
Before any opening or closing
and during any movement
of the doors, ensure that no
person, animal or object is
preventing the required manoeuvre,
either inside or outside the vehicle.
If this advice is not followed, inju-
ries or damage may occur if a part
of the body or an object is trapped
or caught.
Electric closing and opening of the
doors is not possible above 3 mph
(5 km/h):
If you set off with the door(s)
open, you must slow down to
below the threshold of 3 mph
(5 km/h) in order to close the
door(s).
Any attempt to open a door
electrically using the interior
handle, while driving, results in
the door opening partially and,
as a safety measure, locking in
this position immediately. The
audible warning, the lighting
of the "door open" warning
light and the message on the
multifunction display accompany
this situation. In order to release
the door and be able to operate
it again, you must slow down to
below the threshold of 3 mph
(5 km/h) again.
