Patent ID: 7441782

Claim:
A method for level control in a pneumatic level control of a motor vehicle having at least two axles, at least one air spring ( 2 a , 2 b ) per axle, a pressure supply arrangement, at least one pressure sensor ( 24 ), means for determining the distance between at least one unsprung part and the vehicle body ( 16 , 18 , 20 , 22 ), and a control unit ( 10 ), in which the axles are successively adjusted from a starting level to a desired level, in which during a positive-adjustment operation at least from time to time the pressure supply arrangement is connected to at least one air spring ( 2 a , 2 b ), and in which the positive-adjustment operation of the at least one air spring ( 2 a , 2 b ) at an axle from a starting level to a higher desired level is interrupted by the control unit ( 10 ) if at least one switch-off condition of the pressure supply arrangement is met, comprising the step of adjusting the level at all the axles of the motor vehicle to a common height intermediate level, which is closer to the desired level than the starting level, so that the vehicle is no longer leaning.
