Rear suspension

Metal suspension

This equipment adopts long movement limiters

which make it possible to guarantee stable

behaviour both when loaded and when empty.

No action on your part is required except to

ensure that maintenance is carried out and that

the authorised loads are complied with.

the limit of the authorised values. On board,

the increasing or lightening of the load on

the vehicle's platform is detected by two

height sensors. When all of the doors are

closed, the sensors trigger the automatic

height correction and determine the optimum

height of the sill for the vehicle's driving

conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation of

automatic regulation is located on the right-

hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.

Two types of suspension are available.

You must deactivate automatic height

correction manually in the following

situations:
-

when working underneath the vehicle,

-

when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

Rear suspension with pneumatic

height correction

If fitted on your vehicle, this type of

suspension regulates the variations in the

height of the rear platform of your vehicle

irrespective of the weight of the load, within

Two functions

1. Automatic height

correction

2. Manual height

correction

1 - Automatic correction of the

height of the rear sill

The pneumatic suspension automatically

regulates the variations in the height of the

rear platform of your vehicle.

The automatic height correction is

temporarily inactive:
- if a door / the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red

traffic signal (brake pedal pressed).

With the vehicle stationary:
-

press and hold,

-

release the control.

Return to automatic correction

With the vehicle stationary:
-

press and hold,

-

release the control.

According to the configurations, a beep may

be heard during these operations.

A red warning light on your

instrument panel fl ashes if the

height is not at its optimum level

and requires correction, drive slowly

until this warning lamp goes off.

Return to automatic height correction is

confirmed by the LED which goes off.

Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which

is on. It remains on for approximately

30 seconds.

2 - Manual correction of the height

of the rear sill

If your vehicle is fitted with this adjustment,

the control is located on the right-hand side

at the rear of the vehicle.
This manual adjustment permits "lowering"

or "raising" of the height of the sill of the rear

platform to facilitate operations in a parking

area.
This adjustment of the height of the sill is

restricted by a lower limit and an upper limit.

First use
To initialise the function, press the control

for approximately 2 seconds.

Malfunctions
If the load sill is not adjusted when the

control is pressed, "3 beeps" indicate a

malfunction for the following reasons:
- foot on the brake pedal with the key in

the ignition,

- excessive use of the manual correction,
-

low battery charge,

-

other.

If the audible signal persists, contact a

PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.

Carry out these operations with the vehicle

still stationary and:
- with the front and side doors closed,
- with the parking brake applied,
- do not leave your foot on the brake

pedal.

Lower: downwards adjustment

of the platform sill
Press the control downwards

continuously.

Release the button to stop the movement,

"3 beeps" indicate that you have reached

the maximum limit, the movement stops

automatically.

Raise: upwards adjustment of

the platform sill
Press the control upwards

continuously.

Release the button to stop the movement,

"3 beeps" indicate that you have reached

the maximum limit, the movement stops

automatically.

Return to the optimum sill height
Press the control up or down twice in

succession, the opposite of the position of

the load sill.

Rear suspension

Deactivation of manual height correction

Good practice

When stationary and with the ignition key

removed, excessive use of the system

consumes battery power.

Long term parking
Avoid parking for a long duration on ground

which could present a potential obstacle as

your vehicle could lower.
Following a long period out of use, the

height of the platform may change due to the

automatic height correction on unlocking or

on opening one of your vehicle's doors.

With the vehicle stationary:

-

press and hold,

-

release the control.

Deactivation is confirmed by

the LED which is on. It remains on for

approximately 30 seconds.

Return to manual height correction

You must deactivate the manual height

correction in the following situations:

-

when working underneath the vehicle,

-

when changing a wheel,

- when the vehicle is being transported by

lorry, train, ferry, boat, ...

Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical

components underneath the vehicle,

- too high, risks unstable driving.
If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to

switch it off:
- correct the position of the manual

control which is still at the lower or

upper limit,

- or drive slowly at above 6 mph

(10 km/h), until height correction returns

to automatic mode.

Warning lamp

Refer to the "Instruments and controls"

section of chapter 2.

With the vehicle stationary:

-

press and hold,

-

release the control.

Return to manual correction is

confirmed by the LED which goes off.
According to the configuration, a beep may

be heard during these operations.
