Abstract:
A vehicle height adjust control apparatus comprising:an actuator capable of changing a height of a vehicle;a vehicle height detector that detects a vehicle height;a wear-reducing adjustment controller that, based on the vehicle height detected by the vehicle height detector, increases or decreases the vehicle height by controlling the actuator so that the vehicle height becomes substantially equal to a target vehicle height;a stop detector that detects a stopped state of the vehicle;a braking detector that detects a brake pedal depressing operation; anda lowering restrictor provided in the wear-reducing adjustment controller that restricts a vehicle height adjustment in a reducing direction if the stopped state of the vehicle is detected by the stop detector and the brake pedal depressing operation is detected by the braking detector so that abrupt height adjustments of the vehicle upon release of the brake pedal are reduced.
