The control concept
Stationary mode
The stationary mode is recognised at a speed
of <5 km/h.
In stationary mode, vehicle level deviations
due to e.g. passengers entering or leaving the
vehicle, or due to loading or unloading the
luggage compartment, are readjusted within
a short response time, in order to restore the
reference level as far as possible even before
the journey has begun.
The response time is 1 or 5 seconds,
depending on the level deviation. If the
deviation is great (extremely low position) the
response time is 1 second, at lesser level
deviations (normal deviation) it is 5 seconds. Driving mode
The driving mode is recognised at a speed of
>10 km/h.
In driving mode, level changes in the air
springs caused by fuel consumption or
temperature-related volumetric changes
(changing ambient temperatures) are
adjusted.
So that acceleration or braking does not
affect the control system, long response
times are set in the driving mode.
The response times are between 50 seconds
and 15 minutes depending on the control
thresholds.
