Abstract:
Disclosed are a system and method for operating a vehicle kneeling system. A controller operates an actuator that compresses the vehicle suspension to lower the frame of the vehicle to a kneeled position. The controller verified that the transmission is set to park, and that a kneel switch is depressed, to operate the actuator. The controller continues to monitor these parameters, and when the controller detects loss of a signal, it deactivates the actuator which allows the suspension to return the vehicle to a ride height.

Claim (Index 1):
A vehicular system comprising:\n an ignition switch including an \u201con\u201d position; a gear selector coupled to a transmission and including a \u201cpark\u201d position; a vehicle controller that outputs an ignition on signal when the ignition switch is in the \u201con\u201d position and a park signal when the transmission is set to the \u201cpark\u201d position; a frame having a ride height and a kneeled height that is closer to the ground than the ride height; a suspension system having a ride condition in which the frame is at the ride height and a kneeled condition in which the frame is at the kneeled height, wherein the suspension system is biased toward the ride height; a kneeling actuator adapted to compress the suspension system against the bias of the suspension system to move the suspension system from the ride condition to the kneeled condition; a master switch that outputs a master on signal when the master switch is set to an \u201con\u201d position; a kneel button that outputs a kneel signal when the kneel button is actuated; and a kneeling controller adapted to monitor each of the ignition on signal, the park signal, the master on signal and the kneel signal and further adapted to actuate the kneeling actuator to move the suspension system from the ride condition to the kneeled condition when the kneeling controller detects simultaneous and ongoing receipt of each of the ignition on signal, the park signal, the master on signal and the kneel signal.
