Principles of Operation: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 Lincoln Town Car. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Shut off the electrical power to the air suspension system prior to hoisting or jacking an air suspension equipped vehicle. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Any air spring which is unfolded must be refolded prior to being installed in a vehicle. Refer to the appropriate procedure
. An incorrectly folded air spring could rupture, altering the handling characteristics of the vehicle. If a vehicle has been driven with an incorrectly folded air spring, a new air spring must be installed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING:
Inspect the air spring for correct shape after it has been inflated with the wheels off the ground and the suspension unloaded. A deformed air spring could fail. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious injury to the technician or vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING:
Always inflate air springs before loading the suspension. If a load is applied to an uninflated air spring, the spring may be damaged and a new air spring will have to be installed. Damaged springs degrade vehicle handling, which could result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING:
Vent all air pressure from the air suspension system prior to disconnecting or removing any air suspension components. It is dangerous to remove air suspension components while under pressure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
The air suspension system is designed to improve ride handling and general vehicle driving performance.
