Air Suspension System; Automatic Transmission Operation; Brake-Shift Interlock - Lincoln 1998 Mark VIII Owner's Manual

AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM

The air suspension system is designed to improve ride, handling and
general vehicle performance during:
• certain road conditions
• steering maneuvers
• braking
• accelerations
This system maintains the vehicle height at a constant level by
automatically adding air or releasing air from the air springs to offset
changes in vehicle loads.
The air suspension shut-off switch is
located in the trunk. If this switch is
in the OFF position, the automatic
leveling system will not operate.
On vehicles equipped with
Air Suspension, turn OFF
the Air Suspension switch prior to
jacking, hoisting or towing your
vehicle.
Normal vehicle operation does not
require any action by the driver.
