2 - Manual correction of the height of the rear sill First use
To initialise the function, press the control
for approximately 2 seconds.
Return to the optimum sill height
Press the control up or down twice in
succession, the opposite of the position of
the load sill.
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.
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. 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. 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
PEUGEOT dealer.

Rear suspension
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
According to the configurations, a bleep may
be heard during these operations.
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, ... Warning light
Driving with the height of the rear platform:
- too low, risks damaging the technical
components underneath the vehicle,
- too high, risks unstable driving.
With the vehicle stationary:
- press and hold,
- release the control.
Return to manual correction is
confirmed by the diode which is switched off. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
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.

MIRRORS
MIRRORS AND WINDOWS Electric folding/unfolding
If your vehicle is fitted with this function, the
mirrors can be folded or unfolded electrically
from the inside, with the vehicle parked and
the ignition on:
- Place switch A in the centre position.
- Pull switch A rearwards. Manual exterior mirrors
Move the lever in all four directions to
adjust.
When the vehicle is parked, the exterior
mirrors can be folded back manually.
The mirror is spherical to broaden the field
of side vision. Objects observed are, in
reality, closer than they appear. Therefore,
take this into account in order to judge the
distance correctly.
Heated mirrors
If your vehicle is fitted with this function,
press the rear screen demisting button. If the mirror casing has come out of its
initial location, with the vehicle stationary,
reposition the mirror casing manually or use
the electric folding switch.
There is no risk of breakage even in the
presence of ice.
Electric exterior mirrors
- Move switch
A to the right or to the left
to select the corresponding mirror.
- Move knob B in all four directions to

windows are deactivated:
- approximately 45 seconds after the
ignition is switched off,
- after one of the front doors is opened, if the ignition is off. Reinitialisation
Following reconnection of the battery,
the safety auto-reverse function must be
reinitialised.
Lower the window fully, then raise it, it will
rise in steps of a few centimetres each time
the control is pressed. Repeat the operation
until the window is fully closed.
Continue to press the control for at least one
second after the window closed position has
been reached.
The safety auto-reverse does not operate
during these operations.
Manual mode

of resistance. The window opens or closes
fully when the control is released. Pressing
the control again stops the movement of the
window. Safety auto-reverse
If your vehicle is fitted with the safety auto-
reverse function, when the window rises
and meets an obstacle, it stops and partially
lowers.
In the event of unwanted opening of the
window on closing, press the control until
the window is fully open. Within the next
4 seconds, pull the control until the window
is fully closed.
The safety auto-reverse does not operate
during these operations. Good practice
If the electric windows meet an obstacle
during operation, you must reverse the
movement of the window. To do this, press
the control concerned.
When the driver operates the passenger
electric window controls, he must ensure
that no one is preventing correct closing of
the windows.
The driver must ensure that the passengers

- must not be twisted, check by pulling in front of you with an even movement,
- be tightened as close to the body as possible.
The upper part of the seat belt should be
positioned in the hollow of the shoulder.
The lap part should be placed as low as
possible on the pelvis.
Do not invert the seat belt buckles as they
will not fulfil their role completely. If the
seats are fitted with armrests, Recommendations for children:
