Control Modes: Wake-Up

In wake-up mode, the control unit is woken up for a set period of time in order to compensate for possible inclination of the vehicle. Inclination of the vehicle can be caused by large temperature differences or by minor leaks. Adjustments to the front and rear axles ensure that the vehicle is visually level. To minimize power consumption, the vehicle is lowered only. The nominal level of the lowest wheel serves as the nominal level for all other wheels. The lowest nominal level to which the vehicle is lowered is the Access level (-35 mm).

Exception:  if the vehicle is parked at Access level, the vehicle is lowered to max. -50 mm in wake-up mode. If the vehicle is parked for a prolonged period of time and there is a leak in the system, further loss of pressure does not produce a change of ride level since the weight of the body is born by the auxiliary suspension and the residual tire pressure.
