    Abstract: A vehicle leveling system including at least one level sensor, a controller and an output. The sensor measures how level the vehicle is relative to horizontal. Optionally, it does so dynamically, as the vehicle moves across a potential parking area. The controller analyzes the sensor measurements, and informs the operator via the output whether the vehicle is level in a given direction, whether the vehicle is leveling, whether the vehicle can be leveled at a given location, and/or the “best” leveling that the system is capable of at a location. The system also may automatically level the vehicle relative to the ground for the operator. In one embodiment, the leveling system communicates with an existing vehicle electronic height control system. The leveling system overrides or controls the normal operation of this system, and uses it to level the vehicle, for example, by adjusting the vehicle suspension.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling air flow in a level control system for a motor vehicle. Two air flow intervals are indicated for controlling air flow. The first air flow interval I1 is located entirely within air flow interval I2. If the air flow in the level control system is located outside air flow interval I2, an automatic adjustment is made in air flow interval I2. If the air flow is still located outside air flow interval I1 and within second air flow interval I2, the air flow is adjusted to the first air flow interval I1 exclusively when the motor vehicle is in operation.

    Abstract: A method of positioning a vehicle chassis of a stationary vehicle in approximate alignment with a predetermined datum is provided. The vehicle has an axle and a fluid suspension system. The fluid suspension system includes a control device, a pressurized fluid source and an exhaust passage. The pressurized fluid source and the exhaust passage are in fluid communication with the plurality of fluid suspension members through the control device. The vehicle also includes an electronic control unit operatively associated with the control device. The method including steps of providing an alignment sensor supported on the chassis for outputting a signal indicative of the orientation of the chassis to the electronic control unit and acquiring a signal output by the alignment sensor. Another step includes comparing the signal from the alignment sensor to alignment data stored in the electronic control unit. A further step includes selectively operating the control device to permit fluid communication between one or more of the fluid suspension members and one of the pressurized fluid source and the fluid exhaust until the signal from the alignment sensor approximately corresponds to the alignment data. A system for performing the method is also discussed.

    Abstract: An in-vehicle device in a vehicle transmits a request signal and a portable device returns a response signal including an ID code. The in-vehicle device collates the ID code included in the response signal with a registration code stored therein. When the result of collating the ID code becomes OK, the in-vehicle device outputs a height decreasing signal to a vehicle height control device to decrease the height of the vehicle. Thus, the height of the vehicle is decreased at the time when a user holding the portable device gets in the vehicle or loads baggage, making it easier for users to get in the vehicle or to load baggage.
