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 object
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
incline 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 clo-
sing and during any move-
ment 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, injuries
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 elec-
trically using the interior handle,
while driving, results in the door
opening partially and, as a safety
measure, locking in this posi-
tion immediately. The audible
warning, the lighting of the "door
open" warning light and the
message on the multifunction
display accompany this situa-
tion. 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.
