Xantias don't, as they all have Hydractive II, like XM Mk II

I've found that changing the ride height directly while driving the Xantia, lowering or raising slightly the suspension, provides best results on comfort and/or handling, depending on type of road - on high-way a little lower and on secondary roads a little higher. On normal roads, the normal position.

All you have to do is to fix the lever in close distances to the Normal drive position (lowering or raising the suspension). Do not lower or raise too much. I've made fixing adaptors. The best way is to change height while driving to find the best settings according to road type and driving style and then build the adaptors to fix the lever, easy to place with one hand while driving.
