ELC 3 level calibration


The vehicle will move up and down when the air suspension is calibrated. It is therefore extremely important that no persons or equipment remain in the area around or underneath the vehicle, to prevent damage or injury.

Note:

The correct settings for the normal ride height are shown in the table below.

If the ride height is set outside the permitted tolerance range, the vehicle will not attain the ride height and trouble codes will be stored.

Test conditions:

Procedure:

  1. Normal ride height:

    • Enter the normal ride height for the front and rear using the control panel. The correct settings for the normal ride height are shown in the table below.

    • Calibrate the normal ride height.

  2. Max. level:

    • Raise the vehicle to the shock absorber's upper mechanical stop at the front and rear using the control panel.

    • Calibrate the Max. level.

  3. Min. level:

    • Lower the vehicle until the chassis rests on the impact member at the front and rear using the control panel. check that the lowering operation is not obstructed e.g. due to the bellows becoming crumpled.

    • Calibrate the normal ride height.

  4. Stop the diagnostic procedure and switch off the ignition for at least 5 seconds.

Information on generation 3 bellows height settings.

Chassis height.

There are three different chassis heights which determine the calibration heights.

Front axle.

The front bellows height is measured between the underside of the chassis and the lower edge of the bellows' bottom roller body.

The rear bellows height is measured between the top of the rear axle bridge and the underside of the chassis, with the support shaft lowered.
