Abstract

See full text

Disclosed are a method and a system for controlling the level of a motor vehicle body. The level control system (1) includes at least one actuator (2a, 2b) which allows the level of the vehicle body to be modified by a height modifying process. A control unit (10) controls a valve (6a, 6b, 14) associated with the actuator (2a, 2b). During a height modifying process the valve (6a, 6b, 14) is open, and the actuator (2a, 2b) can be expanded by adding a pressure medium or lowered by evacuating the pressure medium. The method is performed by determining the level of the vehicle body, inducing a height modifying process if the determined level is below or above a predetermined level, examining in the control unit (10) whether the valve (6a, 6b, 14) has been opened, and terminating the height modifying process if the valve (6a, 6b, 14) has not or not completely been opened.
