Rostami,
I think what you are talking about is the hydraulic ram on the activa that stops the car from rolling from side to side.
When the computer feels the car leaning to one side, it uses the ram to jack the car up, so you the car doesn't lean any more.
This is only on the activa models.
I think some other members on here will be able to help you more.
Regards
Mat.

Em português é um macaco hidráulico, tipo os que se vêem nas escavadoras [;)]
It's is connected, if i'm not mistaken, to the stabilizer bar.
There is a nice site on the BX with very good info on how the various Citroën hydraulic systems work.

Thanks for your kind posts,
I really have to find out why my Activa is playing funny on me.
