PNEUMATIC SUSPENSION

Grand
C4 Picasso
C4 Picasso
The rear pneumatic 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
vehicle starts to move. During height
correction, the service warning lamp
comes on and a message on the
screen reminds you not to exceed
10 km/h (6 mph).
The automatic correction does not
function if the doors or the boot are
open.
The automatic correction operates
even if your vehicle is in power
economy mode. Activation/Deactivation
The automatic height correction can
be deactivated:

 press button B located on the
left hand boot interior trim for ap-
proximately two seconds,

 release the button when you
hear a beep. Deactivation is con-
fi rmed by the lighting of the indi-
cator lamp in the button B .

In the event of a system fault,
alert messages, always in asso-
ciation with the service warning
lamp, will appear in the instru-
ment panel . Consult a CITROËN
dealer.
You must deactivate the system in
the following circumstances:
- when working under the vehicle,
- when changing a wheel,
- when transporting the vehicle on
a lorry or ferry
To reactivate automatic height cor-
rection:

 press again on the button B for
approximately two seconds,

 release the button when you hear
a beep. Activation is confi rmed
by the extinction of the indicator
lamp in the button B .

Returning to the normal height

 Press briefl y the bottom of con-
trol A twice.
Decreasing the height of the boot
fl oor

 Press continuously the bottom of

This action will be accompanied by
an audible signal. You can stop the
movement at any time by releasing
the control.
3 beeps will confi rm that the move-

Returning to the normal height

 Press briefl y the top of control A
twice.
Driving with the boot in a
low position may damage
underbody components.

Particular points
- If you start the vehicle without having returned it to the normal
height, automatic correction will
activate as soon as the vehicle
starts to move. During the cor-
rection, the service warning
lamp comes on and a message
on the screen reminds you not to
exceed 6 mph (10 km/h).
- Loading assistance does not function in the following circum-
stances:

ENERGY ECONOMY MODE
System which manages the duration
of use of certain functions to conserve
a suffi cient level of charge in the
battery.
After the engine has stopped, you can
still use functions such as the audio
and telematics system, windscreen
wipers, dipped beam headlamps,
courtesy lamps, etc. for a maximum
combined duration of thirty minutes.
Switching to economy mode
Once this period has elapsed, a
message appears on the multi-func-
tion screen indicating that the vehi-
cle has switched to economy mode
and the active functions are put on
standby.
If a telephone call is being made at
this time:
- it will be maintained for 10 minu-tes with your Audio system or
MyWay hands-free system
- it will be maintained for 10 minu- tes with the NaviDrive, then it will
transfer to your telephone de-
pending on its model. Exiting economy mode
These functions are reactivated au-
tomatically next time the vehicle is
started.
To resume the use of these functions
immediately, start the engine and let
it run for at least 5 minutes.
A fl at battery prevents the
engine from starting (refer
to the corresponding para-
graph).
Following reconnection of the
battery
Following reconnection of the bat-
tery, switch on the ignition and wait
1 minute before starting to permit
initialisation of the electronic sys-
tems. However, if slight diffi culties
are encountered following this oper-
ation, contact a CITROËN dealer.
Referring to the corresponding sec-
tion, you must yourself reinitialise:
- the remote control key,
- the one-touch electric windows,
- the panoramic sunroof blind,
- the settings of the multifunction
screen,
- the radio pre-set stations,
- the GPS satellite navigation system. This period may be reduced con-
siderably if the battery is not fully
charged.
