GPS ACTIVATED PARK MODE FOR ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS

摘要

A method of adjusting an air suspension system comprises detecting with a positioning system that the vehicle is approaching a park location and reporting the park location is approaching to an electronic control unit for the air suspension system. A vehicle speed is determined and compared to a predetermined speed threshold, with the electronic control unit. The electronic control unit selects a park mode for the suspensions system when the vehicle is approaching the park location and when the vehicle speed is below the predetermined threshold. Air supply for the air suspension system is controlled to adjust the corner assemblies for the air suspension system to lowered positions associated with the park mode.

主权项

1. An air suspension system for a vehicle comprising:
four corner assemblies, wherein one corner assembly is located at a suspension position corresponding to each of the wheel corners for the vehicle; an air supply unit including a compressor, and an ECU connected to the corner assemblies, wherein the air supply unit is capable of independently adjusting the corner assemblies from one another; and wherein the air suspension system is operable to place the corner assemblies in a park position when a positioning system indicates that the vehicle is approaching a final destination.
