The rear pneumatic suspension enhances driving
comfort by maintaining a constant body height what-
ever the vehicle load.
OPERATION

springs inflate in order to compensate for the extra
weight.
- if there is an decrease in load, a rising of the rear of the vehicle is detected and so the pneumatic springs
deflate to return the vehicle to its nominal height.
- if the vehicle has been unused for a long period, the pneumatic springs may inflate if necessary when you
unlock or open a door, so as to return the vehicle to
its nominal height. Note
: if you do not reactivate the system manually,
the automatic correction will be activated as soon as

Notes on radio reception
Your radio will be subject to certain
phenomena that are not encoun-
tered by domestic systems.
The reception of AM and FM sig-
nals may suffer from interference,
which is caused by the nature and
propagation of the signals and
does not reflect on the quality of
your radio installation.
In AM, the reception may be af-
fected when passing under power
lines or bridges, or when travelling
through tunnels.
In FM mode, the reception may be
affected by the distance from the
station transmitter, the reflecting of
signals off obstacles (mountains,
hills, tower blocks) and radio blacks-
pots (no coverage from the station
transmitter).
Selection of radio source
Press button
D to select the source.
Selection of frequencies and
memory banks
Press button E successively to go
through the memory banks FM1,
FM2 and FM3, for the FM wave-
band, and the memory banks MW/
LW, for the AM waveband. Manual search
Manual seearch is via buttons
J
or M.
By keeping button J or M pressed,
you will be able to scroll through
the waveband. Scrolling will stop
as soon as you release the button.
The radio will remain tuned to the
frequency that is displayed.
Tuning sensitivity
Automatic searches can be car-
ried out according to two levels of
sensitivity :
- To capture the most powerful trans- mitters, choose the local search
mode “ LO” (default option).
- To capture the weakest or most distant transmitters, choose the
sensitive search mode “ DX”.
Search for a station is done first
in “ LO” (local) sensitivity, then in
“ DX ” (distant) sensitivity.
To commence a search in sensi-
tivity “ DX” (distant) immediately ,
press twice in succession on one
of the buttons K or N. Automatic search
A short press on one of the but-
tons
K or N will tune into higher or
lower radio stations respectively,
within the chosen waveband.
By keeping button K or N pressed,
you will be able to scroll through
the waveband. The scrolling will
stop at the first station it finds once
the button is released.
You can also do this by means of
control 2 at the steering wheel.
If the automatic search is unable
to tune into a known frequency
(perhaps owing to very weak re-
ception), it is possible to search
manually to find this station.
Display and selection of a
station available in the area in
which you are travelling
Briefly press on button G to bring
up a list of stations, this is updated
every 10 minutes.
You can also update this list at
any time by giving a long press on
button G.
To listen to one of these stations,
select by pressing buttons J or M
and validate using button L.

152IV
Manual pre-setting
Select the waveband and memory
bank required using button
E.
Select a station using either auto-
matic or manual search.
Keep pressing for more than two
seconds on one of the pre-selection
buttons 1 to 6 on the keypad P.
The sound momentarily cuts off,
then returns to its previous level to
confirm that it has memorised the
station. Automatic memorisation of
transmitters
(Autostore function)
In FM, if you hold down button
E
for more than two seconds, your
radio will automatically memorise
the 6 strongest stations on the
FM3 memory bank.
The display shows “ FM AST”.
The radio memorises the 6 strong-
est transmitters, deleting the
6 previously memorised.
After the memorisation, the ra-
dio goes directly to memory 1 of
memory bank FM3.
Note :
- If the traffic information function has been activated (see RDS
SYSTEM), the stations offering
this facility will be memorised as
priority.
- If it is unable to memorise any new stations, the system will re-
tain the previously memorised
stations.
- If the system is unable to find 6 stations, the unfilled memory
slots will remain free. Recall of pre-set stations
Press button
E briefly to select the
required waveband and memory
bank.
A short press on one the pre-
selection buttons 1 to 6 on the
keypad P recalls the correspond-
ing memorised station. You can
also do this using the control 3 at
the steering wheel.
If it is a RDS station, the frequency
appears some seconds before the
name appears.
For RDS stations, recall of a sta-
tion may prompt a search for a
frequency corresponding to the
region where you happen to be
(see RDS system).
