Raising with Air Suspension System not Open

-- If the clearance for the hoist arms is insufficient, then set the vehicle to "lift" (highest level) before lifting the vehicle with the shop hoist and turn on the "vehicle lift mode".

This ensures that the hoist arms can pivot under the vehicle and the air suspension system will not make any unintended adjustments.

-- Position hoist lifting arms under intended lift points on longitudinal members and raise vehicle.

Lowering with Air Suspension System not Closed

-- Lower hoist and place vehicle on wheels.

-- Swing back the hoist lifting arms.

-- Switch off "vehicle lift mode" and set the desired driving mode.

TIP:

"Vehicle lift mode" is automatically deactivated when vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6.2 mph).
