* NOTE Damage due to excess pressure
If the pressure in the air suspension bellows is
too high, the compressed-air lines or the air
suspension bellows can be damaged.
In doing so, do not exceed the maximum
#
permissible operating pressure of
0.113 ksi (900 kPa (9 bar/130 psi)).
Only for vehicles with valves for electronic level
control emergency charging: if electronic level
control is malfunctioning and the vehicle is leaning,
you can raise or lower the vehicle by connecting
an external compressed-air source to one of the
emergency valves (similarly to tire valve). If elec-
tronic level control is not operational, you can
drive on carefully to the nearest qualified specialist
workshop and have the malfunction remedied.
