Patent ID: 8532875

Claim:
A ride height control system for a motor vehicle comprising: air springs, at least one compressed air accumulator, compressed air lines with switchable directional control valves for either closing or opening the compressed air lines, a compressor for transferring compressed air from the compressed air accumulator into the air springs via compressed air lines for a raising process and for transferring compressed air from the air springs into the compressed air accumulator via compressed air lines for a lowering process, a control unit in which a switch-off limiting value for at least one operating parameter of at least one component of the ride height control system is monitored, wherein the activation of the component is prohibited or aborted when the switch-off limiting value is reached, wherein, in the raising process, the activation of the component is prohibited or aborted when the switch-off limiting value is reached, and upward transgression of the switch-off limiting value of the operating parameter is permitted in the case of the lowering process.
