The pneumatic rear suspension en-
hances driving comfort by maintain-
ing a constant body height whatever
the vehicle load.
Operation
- If there is an increase in vehicle
load, a sinking of the rear of
the vehicle is detected and the
pneumatic springs infl ate in or-
der to compensate for the extra
weight.
- If there is a decrease in load, a
rising of the rear of the vehicle is
detected and so the pneumatic
springs defl ate to return the ve-
hicle to its nominal height.
- If the vehicle has been unused
for a long period, the pneumatic
springs may infl ate if necessary
when you unlock or open a door,
so as to return the vehicle to its
nominal height.
If you do not reactivate the system
manually, automatic height correc-
tion will be activated as soon as the

correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the
