es into the normal operation mode. In the normal mode, the control module will constantly
monitor the input signals from the ride height sensors and will activate a correction if the
ride height deviates by at least 10mm.
Tailgate Operating Mode
The tailgate operating mode is activated if the gate is opened with KL - 15 On and the
engine running. The difference between this mode and the normal operating mode is the
