ment, systems and functions that are available

Chassis components
The chassis components are optimized for the
vehicle and its application range and thereby
ensure the best possible Driving Dynamics.
Self-leveling suspension
Principle
The air suspension on the rear axle helps the
self-leveling suspension keep the vehicle
height and ground clearance constant. Irre-
spective of loading, the system maintains the
height of the vehicle at the rear axle at a pre-
defined level.
The system ensures consistent driving comfort
by keeping spring travel constant in all driving
situations.
