Special information on AIRmatic - AH32.22-P-1000-02GZ
Overview of AIRmatic suspension, shown on model 164.1 with AIRmatic (air suspension with level adjustment and adaptive damping system ADS), code 489
Model 164.1:
Possible equipment variant with front steel suspension and rear air suspension: The air suspension struts (6) and central reservoir (4) not used anymore The AIRmatic valve unit (Y36) is a different design.
- The components or the entire system must not be discharged by unscrewing pressure lines! Depressurize components of AIRmatic (suspension struts, damping valve units, central reservoir) with STAR DIAGNOSIS before removal.
- Dirty pressure line connections must be cleaned before unscrewing. Do not use any cleaning or solvent agent, as this can damage the pressure lines.
- Seal pressure lines as well as connections on the components with blind plugs.
- To unscrew the pressure lines only use flare nut wrench or a special tool.
- Air suspension struts which have been removed or have not been screwed on securely (6) must not be filled with compressed air and not pushed together as this leads to destruction of the air suspension strut (6).
- Air suspension struts (6) must not be twisted as this leads to fold formation in the air spring and thus leads to destruction of the air suspension strut (6).
- If the vehicle is idle for a longer time, position the wheels straight-ahead, as any pressure loss occurring in the system can lead to lowering of the vehicle.
