so limit its use to avoid discharging
the battery.
Maximum power: 120 W. To prevent the mat from becoming caught
under the pedals:


- only use mats suited to the fixings
already present in the vehicle. It is
imperative that these fixings are used.

- never fit one mat on top of another.

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.
REAR SUSPENSION

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 bleep
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.

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.
