AIRMATIC is an air suspension system with varia-
ble damping for improved driving comfort. The all-
round level control system ensures the best possi-
ble suspension and constant ground clearance,
even with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed,
the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve
driving safety and to reduce energy consumption.
You also have the option of manually adjusting the
vehicle level.
