AIR BODY CONTROL function
AIR BODY CONTROL is an air suspension system with variable damping for improved driving comfort and improved driving dynamics. The all-round level control system ensures the best possible suspension and constant ground clearance, even with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed, the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driving safety and to reduce fuel consumption. You also have the option of manually adjusting the vehicle level.
AIR BODY CONTROL comprises:
Adaptive Damping System with variable damping force adjustment
Speed-dependent lowering
Manually selectable high-level setting for greater ground clearance which can be adjusted using level button
