Rear suspension

Metal suspension
This equipment adopts long movement limiters
which make it possible to
guarantee stable
behaviour both when loaded and when empt
y.
No action on your part is required except to
ensure that maintenance is carried out and that
the authorised loads are com
plied with.irrespective o
f the weight of the load, within
the limit of the authorised values.
On board,
the increasin
g or lightening of the load on
the vehicle's plat
form is detected by two
hei
ght sensors. When all of the doors are
closed, the sensors trigger the automatic
hei
ght correction and determine the optimum
hei
ght of the sill for the vehicle's driving
conditions.

Deactivation of automatic height correction
The control which permits deactivation o
f
automatic re
gulation is located on the right-
hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.
REAR SUSPENSION
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, ...
Two t
ypes of suspension are available.

Deactivation of manual height correction
Good practice
When stationary and with the ignition key
removed, excessive use of the s
ystem
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.
Followin

y:


- press and hold,

- release the control.

Return to manual height correction

According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
You must deactivate the manual hei

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 lamp Driving with the height o
f 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. R
efer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2.
If you start and the warning lamp flashes, to
switch it off:
