Vehicles with air suspension can either have rear (partial) air suspension or full air suspension. If there is a lift axle, it will
always have air suspension.
The air suspension has improved flexibility and significant vibration dampening properties. Above all, however, it makes it
possible to maintain a constant distance between the chassis and roadway, regardless of the vehicle load. The ECAS system
(Electronically Controlled Air Suspension) automatically regulates the target height of the vehicle’s air suspension system.
The system has a remote control on the side of the driver’s seat that can be used to lift / lower it and to level the chassis, both
when the vehicle is moving and when it is stopped (with the parking brake engaged).
Levelling of the chassis to the driving level can be activated at any speed, and lowering and lifting can be activated at less than
30 km/h . If this speed is exceeded, the setting is kept constant. In addition, the automatic levelling system automatically
regulates the height of the springs on the front and rear axles to the standard driving level, only for the vehicles “4x2 swap
bodies” and “6x2 swap bodies” at a speed of over 30 km/h.
If the vehicle is not at the standard driving level, the indicator light (4) on the instrument panel will be illuminated. If the height
of the springs is set by the driver or the automatic levelling mode to the driving level, the indicator light (4) will go out.

NOTE: The vehicle must be lowered completely when handling heavy loads or containers (with a
crane).
