CDifficulty 2/5

In a lorry with correctly functioning air suspension and automatic height control, what does the system do when load changes within its design limits?

Correct answer

Automatically regulate height to the specified level within system limits.

It automatically regulates body or chassis height relative to the axles to maintain the specified level by adjusting air in the suspension elements. This operates within system conditions and limits; it does not guarantee constant height under every overload or fault or permit exceeding axle limits or MAM. Some configurations provide particular levels for loading, unloading or driving according to manufacturer instructions. Observe the specified driving height and maintenance requirements.
