To view the current air suspension system hardness setting, there are several ways:
1. View through the in-vehicle control panel or display
Most vehicles equipped with air suspension systems provide a control panel or display for displaying and adjusting the suspension hardness. The specific steps are as follows:
- Enter the settings menu: After starting the vehicle, enter the vehicle's settings menu and find the air suspension system option.
- View the current mode: On the control panel or display, view the current suspension mode. Usually, the system will highlight the current mode in white, such as "Comfort Mode", "Sport Mode" or "Normal Mode".
- Adjust Mode: If you need to change the suspension hardness, you can adjust it through the buttons or knobs on the control panel. For example, pressing the "Sport Mode" button will make the suspension harder, while pressing the "Comfort Mode" button will make the suspension softer.
2. View through driving mode selection
Some vehicles allow drivers to indirectly understand the suspension hardness setting by selecting different driving modes:
- Select driving mode: Select a driving mode, such as "Normal Mode", "Sport Mode" or "Comfort Mode" on the in-vehicle control panel or display.
- View mode description: Each mode corresponds to a different suspension hardness setting. For example, "Sport mode" usually makes the suspension harder to improve handling; "Comfort mode" makes the suspension softer to provide a more comfortable ride.
3. View through professional diagnostic tools
If the vehicle is equipped with a more advanced air suspension system, you may need to use a professional diagnostic tool to view and adjust the suspension hardness:
- Connect diagnostic tool: Connect the professional diagnostic tool to the vehicle's OBD-II interface.
- Enter suspension system settings: Enter the air suspension system settings menu through the diagnostic tool to view the current suspension hardness setting.
4. Observe the change in vehicle height
The air suspension system usually automatically adjusts the vehicle height according to the suspension hardness. The suspension hardness can be roughly judged by observing the change in vehicle height:
- Vehicle height change: In "Sport mode", the body is usually lowered and the suspension is harder; in "Comfort mode", the body may be raised and the suspension is softer.
Notes
- Refer to the vehicle user manual: The operation method may be slightly different for different models. It is recommended to refer to the vehicle's user manual for accurate operation guidelines.
- Regularly check the system status: Regularly check the status of the air suspension system to ensure it is working properly.
Through the above method, you can easily view and adjust the hardness settings of the air suspension system to meet different driving needs and road conditions.
