Self-leveling suspension

The concept

The self-leveling suspension keeps the vehicle height and ground clearance constant. The height of the vehicle at the rear axle is maintained at a predefined level under all load conditions.

The system ensures consistent comfort by keeping spring travel constant in all driving situations.

Malfunction

A Check Control message is displayed. A malfunction has occurred in the self-leveling suspension. Vehicle handling may be altered and driving comfort may be noticeably reduced. Visit your nearest service center.
