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 11):
A method of controlling a vehicle kneeling system in a vehicle having a kneeling controller, the method comprising:\n in the kneeling controller, receiving an ignition on signal indicating that an ignition key switch for the vehicle is \u201con\u201d; in the kneeling controller, receiving a park signal indicating that a transmission of the vehicle is set to \u201cpark\u201d; in the kneeling controller, receiving a master on signal indicating that a master switch is \u201con\u201d; in the kneeling controller, receiving a kneel signal indicating actuation of a kneel button; in the kneeling controller, verifying simultaneous and ongoing receipt of each of the ignition on signal, the park signal, the master on signal and the kneel signal; actuating a kneeling actuator with the kneeling controller upon verification of simultaneous and ongoing receipt of each of the ignition on signal, the park signal, the master on signal and the kneel signal; and with the kneeling actuator, moving the vehicle to a kneeling position that lowers a frame of the vehicle closer to the ground.
