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.
irrespective of the weight of the load, within
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
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 types of suspension are available.
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
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.
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.
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 beep may
be heard during these operations.
Two functions
Deactivation is confirmed by the LED which
is on. It remains on for approximately
30 seconds.
Return to automatic height correction is
confirmed by the LED which goes off.

2 - Manual correction of the height of the rear sill
First use
To initialise the function, press the control
for approximately 2 seconds.
Return to the optimum sill height
Press the control up or down twice in
succession, the opposite of the position of
the load sill.
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.
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.
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.
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.

AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP03_ERGONOMIE ET CONFORT_ED01-2014
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.
Return to manual height correction
According to the configuration, a beep may
be heard during these operations.
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, ... Warning lamp
Driving with the height of 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. Refer to the "Instruments and controls"
section of chapter 2. 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. Return to manual 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.

Changing a wheel
AP-EXPERT-VU_EN_CHAP07_AIDE RAPIDE_ED01-2014
CHANGING A WHEEL
If your vehicle is equipped with a spare
wheel located underneath the vehicle, follow
these instructions.
1. PARKING THE VEHICLE
- You must ensure that the occupants get out of the vehicle and wait in a safe
location.
- If possible, park the vehicle on level, stable and non-slippery ground.
- Apply the parking brake, switch off the ignition and engage first or reverse gear.
- If available, place a chock under the wheel diagonally opposite the one to be
changed.
On certain types of ground and/or if heavy
loads are being transported, the vehicle
must be raised in order to disengage
the spare wheel from the carrier. Call a
PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop. If your vehicle is fitted with suspension
with pneumatic height correction,
please deactivate the system. Refer to the
"Rear suspension" section of chapter 3.
2. TOOLS
- If fitted on your vehicle, open the plastic flap located at the rear left of the
vehicle.
- Unscrew the nut then take out the jack and the wheelbrace.
1. Wheelbrace.
2. Jack.
3. Towing eye.
The jack and the tool kit are specific to
your vehicle. Do not use them for other
purposes.
