AIRmatic driver information 

Various messages are displayed for the AIRmatic in the instrument cluster and in the level adjustment switch.

Turning on the ignition and starting the engine 

When the ignition is switched on, the LED in the level adjustment switch lights up and, when the engine is running, displays the setting selected before "ignition OFF".

Display evaluation 

If electrical faults occur in the AIRmatic system, the "Visit workshop!" message appears in the instrument cluster. The fault is stored in the AIRmatic control unit (N51) and can be read out using the STAR DIAGNOSIS.

Emergency running 

If a fault occurs in the suspension system or level control system, the system attempts to maintain the set vehicle level. Manual and automatic level adjustment are no longer possible.

Level control switch 

Switch actuations enable the driver to choose between a highway level and a raised level. The vehicle is in the highway level state (no function indicator). If the vehicle is lifted to the raised level, the LED in the switch flashes on and off. When the level is reached the LED remains constantly on. The last stage selected with function indicator is active once the engine is started again.

As long as the message: "Vehicle rising" is indicated in the instrument cluster, the desired vehicle level has not yet been reached

If raising the vehicle speed-dependent is canceled, the message "Level selection canceled" appears in the instrument cluster for t = 10 seconds".

If the vehicle is raised several times in succession, the air compressor motor (A9/1m1) may switch off for a time to prevent overloading. It may then take an unusually long time to raise the vehicle level.
