Couple of extra points...
Although it is really easy to adjust the suspension height higher/lower than standard settings front and back, as a general rule ...don't.
The ride and handling suffer for it and it can lead to problems in certain situations such as angle of CV joints esp under power and suspension travel and damping in 1 direction being reduced is not ideal esp as it is so softly sprung as it were. Hence the reduced max speeds given by Citroen for the non-standard running height settings.

(That said it has been seen for some to cut an additional height setting slot into the suspension selector gate for when running on super smooth motorways dropping the suspension an additional inch or so. Still very much not recommended but do-able.)

So I would recommend setting the suspension as per the official method to the lower end of the recommended heights front and back (there is a range given for the height settings so you do have some scope)

I just run it at standard height unless off roading or parking it up to look supercool- But the system does benefit from "citrobatics" on occasion - where you cycle it through the heights whilst stationary to keep the system smooth- it makes a difference!

Cheers
