Function of AIRMATIC

AIRMATIC is an air suspension system with an all-round level control system, which also ensures the best possible suspension and constant ground clearance, even with a laden vehicle. When you drive at speed, the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driving safety and to reduce fuel consumption. There is also the option of raising the vehicle level while driving slowly, e.g. for driving on easily negotiable off-road terrain. The AIRMATIC settings are dependent on the drive program selection.

AIRMATIC consists of the following functions and components:
  • all-round air suspension

  • speed-dependent lowering to reduce energy consumption

  • high level for greater ground clearance when driving slowly set with drive program

  • DYNAMIC SELECT switch

Vehicle levels per drive program
Drive programs and :
  • the vehicle is set to normal level

  • at speeds above approx. 105 km/h, the vehicle level lowers by approx. 10 mm

  • at speeds less than approx. 75 km/h, the vehicle is raised again

Drive program :
  • the vehicle is lowered by approx. 10 mm

  • at higher speeds, the vehicle level does not continue to lower

Drive program :
  • the vehicle is raised by approx. 27 mm

  • at speeds above approx. 25 km/h, the vehicle level lowers to the normal level

  • at speeds less than approx. 10 km/h, the vehicle is raised again

  • at speeds above approx. 95 km/h, the vehicle switches to drive program

Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack: if the electrical connection has been correctly established, the vehicle remains on normal level regardless of speed.

System limits
AIRMATIC may not be available or have only limited availability in the following cases:
  • The overheating protection has been activated due to frequent level changes within a short time. The warning lamp appears in the multifunction display.

    After the cooling phase, the system is again available without restrictions.
