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

compensation and determine the optimum

height of the sill for the vehicle’s driving

conditions.

Deactivation of the automatic correction

The control which permits deactivation of the

automatic control is located on the right-

hand side, at the rear of the vehicle.

With the vehicle stationary:

press and hold,

release the control.

Deactivation is confirmed by

the diode which is lit. It remains lit for

approximately 30 seconds.

Two functions

You must deactivate the automatic

correction manually in the following

area.

Return to the optimum sill height

This adjustment of the height of the sill is

restricted by a lower limit and an upper limit.

Press the control up or down twice in

succession, the opposite of the position of

the load sill.
