AIR BODY CONTROL is an air suspension system
with variable damping for improved driving com‐
fort. The all-round level control system ensures
the best possible suspension and constant
ground clearance, even with a laden vehicle.
When driving at speed, the vehicle is lowered
automatically to improve driving safety and to
reduce fuel consumption. You also have the
option of manually adjusting the vehicle level.
