ECAS: control air suspension height ECAS: Lowering and raising the air suspension Purpose of this function: To raise and lower the chassis by using the Smartboard.
  • Page 3: Ecas: Setting Memory Level

    ECAS: Setting memory level Purpose of this function: To store a (frequently used) height in order to be able to go to that specific height very easily at a later date, e.g. in case of frequently used unloading points. The system can store up to 2 levels and both storing and selecting a memory level are done in the same menu.
  • Page 4: Lifting Axles: Lifting Axle Functions And Their Operation

    4. Lifting axles: lifting axle functions and their operation What do we mean by “lifting axles”? Simple: lifting axles are axles that can lift themselves off the ground by means of lifting bellows. However, an axle can have lifting axle functions without having lifting bellows. Without these lifting axle bellows, only the pressure in the air suspension is reduced, which means that the axle no longer carries a load, but still rests on the ground under its own weight.
  • Page 5: Lifting Axle Function: Optiturn

    Lift axle function: OptiTurn Purpose of this function: To optimise the turning circle of the combination when cornering. The theoretical wheelbase is shortened in corners by lifting or (partially) relieving the load on the rear axle. Cornering is detected thanks to the ABS sensors. This function also works smoothly on vehicles not equipped with lifting axle bellows.
  • Page 6: Lifting Axle Function: Traction Help

    Lifting axle function: Traction help Purpose of this function: to create more traction on the truck’s towing axle by lifting or (par- tially) relieving the load on the first axle of the trailer. Load on the truck Load on the trailer There are three ways to activate this feature: By disengaging the handbrake, touching nothing for 2 seconds, and then pressing the brake pedal hard three times within 10 seconds.
