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:

confirmed by the LED which goes off. Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.

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.
Malfunctions
If the load sill is not adjusted when the
control is pressed, "3 beeps" indicate a
malfunction for the following reasons:

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.

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.

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.
Unfastening

Press the red button.
SEAT BELTS


Good practice

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.
Do not use accessories (clothes pegs, clips,
safety pins, etc.) which allow the seat belt
straps to fit loosely.
Ensure that the seat belt has reeled in
correctly after use.
After folding or moving a seat or a rear
bench seat, ensure that the seat belt has
reeled in correctly and that the buckle is
ready to accommodate the tongue.
Depending on the nature and seriousness
of any impact, the pretensioning device may
be deployed before and independently of
inflation of the airbags. It instantly tightens
the seat belts against the body of the
occupants. Deployment 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.

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 lamp
When the vehicle is started, this
warning lamp comes on if the
driver has not fastened their seat
belt.

Passenger seat belt not
fastened warning lamp
If your vehicle is fitted with a front
passenger seat, when the vehicle
is started, this warning lamp
comes on if the passenger has not fastened
their seat belt.
