2.1

Deflate air spring using the STAR DIAGNOSIS diagnosis system

Only on vehicles with Airmatic (air suspension with level adjustment and Adaptive Damping System ADS), code 489.

The wheels must not make any contact with the ground when filling as when filling in the jounce condition the air spring bellows in the spring element will be destroyed.

Only deflate air springs, on which the shock absorber mounts are to be removed.

Installation: Before inflating the air springs start the engine and allow engine to run during inflation process.

Installation: Ensure air suspension system does not leak.

Connect STAR DIAGNOSIS and read out fault memory
