Rear suspension
IN-CAR TECHNOLOGY

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. irrespective of the weight of the load, within
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
compensation and determine the optimum
height of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.
Deactivation of the automatic correction
The control which permits deactivation of the
automatic control is located on the right-hand
side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
Two types of suspension are offered.
You must deactivate the automatic
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
compensation
If fitted on your vehicle, this type of
suspension regulates the variations in the
height of the rear platform of your vehicle Two functions
1. Automatic
correction
2. Manual
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 compensation is temporarily
inactive:
- if a door/the tailgate is open,
- when braking or when stopped at a red light (brake pedal pressed). With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Deactivation is confirmed by
the diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to automatic correction
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to automatic correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
A red warning light on your
i n s t r u m e n t p a n e l fl a s h e s i f t h e
height is not at its optimum level and
requires correction, drive slowly until
this warning light is switched off.

Rear suspension
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.
Operating faults
If the load sill is not adjusted when the
control is pressed, "3 bleeps" 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,
- failure of the system.
If the audible signal persists, contact a
CITROËN dealer.
Carry out these operations with the vehicle
still stationary and:
- with the front and side doors closed,
- with the handbrake 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 bleeps" 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 bleeps" 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.

Deactivation of the manual correction Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the system
consumes battery charge. Parking for a long duration
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 compensation 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 diode which is lit. It remains lit for
approximately 30 seconds.
Return to manual correction
You must deactivate the manual
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 light 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 the compensation returns to automatic
mode. Warning light
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 diode which is switched off.
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.

Seat belts
Height adjustment
Squeeze the control with the return and slide
the assembly on the driver's seat side and
on the individual passenger seat side.
If your vehicle is fitted with a front bench,
the height of the seat belt associated with
the centre seat cannot be adjusted.

SEAT BELTS
CORRECT USE OF THE SEAT BELTS
The driver must ensure that passengers use
the seat belts correctly and that they are all
strapped in securely before moving off.
Wherever you are seated in the vehicle,
always fasten your seat belt, even for short
journeys.
The seat belts are fitted with an inertia reel
which automatically adjusts the length of the
strap to your size. The seat belt is rolled up
automatically when not in use.
Ensure that the seat belt is rolled up
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt is
rolled up correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Fastening
Pull the strap, then insert the tongue into the
buckle.
Check that the seat belt is fastened correctly
by pulling the strap. Driver's seat belt not fastened
warning light
When the vehicle is started, this
warning light comes on if the
driver has not fastened his seat
belt.
Passenger seat belt not
fastened warning light
If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning light
comes on if the passenger has not fastened
his seat belt. Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be triggered before and independently of
inflation of the air bags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants.
Triggering of the pretensioners is accompanied
by a slight discharge of harmless smoke and a
noise, due to the activation of the pyrotechnic
cartridge incorporated in the system.
