height of the vehicle at the rear axle is main‐
tained at a predefined level under all load con‐
ditions.
The system ensures consistent comfort by
keeping spring travel constant in all driving sit‐
uations.

malfunction has occurred in the self-leveling
suspension. Vehicle handling may be altered
and driving comfort may be noticeably reduced.
