Level Control Systems
Air Springs
The air spring is made from a flexible rubber material. It
forms an air tight cavity which provides the calculated
spring rate required for the sport wagon.
As the spring compresses downward the bottom edge
of the rubber material rolls along the vertical surface of
the base mount cylinder.
Air is added or removed from the air spring through its
top port. The top port of each spring is connected to a
reservoir and the air supply pipes. The reservoirs are
required to hold additional air due to the compact design
of the springs.
Rear Axle Level Sensors
Hall effect sensors are mounted on the left
and right sides of the rear suspension for
ride height detection. They are pivoted by a
coupling rod through the rear axle swing
arms.
The hall sensors produce a varying voltage
input to the control module as the suspen-
sion height changes.
If the vehicle is equipped with Xenon head-
lights the right side sensor contains an
additional sensor for the automatic head-
light level adjustment system.
Warning Displays
