Positioning Vehicle on Hoist and Wheels






Positioning Vehicle on Hoist and Wheels

Raising with Air Suspension System Not Open

- Before lifting the vehicle on a vehicle hoist, switch the vehicle to "Lift" (highest level) and "Changing a Wheel". Refer to the Owner's Manual.

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 hoist lifting arms.

- Switch off the "Changing a Wheel mode" and select a driving mode. Refer to the Owner's Manual.

"Changing a wheel mode" is automatically deactivated when the vehicle speed exceeds 10 km/h (6.2 m/h).

Lowering with Open Air Suspension System

- Lower hoist and place vehicle on wheels.

- Turn on the ignition on switch off the "changing a wheel mode". Refer to the Owner's Manual.

The pressure reservoir "inflates" the air spring damper.

If the vehicle is not high enough to pivot the hoist lifting arms back (insufficient pressure in the pressure reservoir), run the engine at idle. The compressor for the air suspension switches on.

- Filling the air suspension system can also be performed in "Guided Fault Finding". To do this, start the appropriate program on the vehicle diagnostic tester.
