Select the vehicle level as required and
#
wait until the chassis has reached the
selected level.

Forced lowering

When you engage a power take-off, the vehicle is
completely lowered on all air-sprung axles. This
increases the tipping stability of the vehicle.
If you disengage power take-off, the vehicle
remains lowered until you select a level.
Residual air bellow pressure regulation
Depending on the equipment, it is possible to
readjust the residual air bellow pressure.
Vehicles with residual air bellow pressure read‐
justment: if residual air bellow pressure regula‐
tion is active, the air suspension pressure on
each axle is constantly monitored and, if neces‐
sary, increased/decreased until it matches a par‐
ametrised value.
Vehicles without residual air bellow pressure
readjustment: the air suspension pressure on the
front axle is reduced until it matches a parametr‐
ised value. The air suspension valves are closed
when the set value is reached. On the rear axle,
the vehicle is lowered completely on all air-
sprung axles. The air suspension valves on the
rear axle subsequently remain open.
