How to activate and deactivate the pneumatic suspensions on Mercedes Vito/Viano

Model: Mercedes Vito MK 3, W447 - Years 2014-2024
Part: Suspension system

In this video we can see how to adjust the pneumatic suspensions on a Mercedes Vito or Viano. First of all, we need to know that not all of these vehicles are equipped with this accessory. If it is, we turn on the ignition, open the rear door, and on the right side of the cargo area, we find the control buttons, where we have a button to lower the car, one to raise it, and one for normal driving. We must make sure that the engine is running (the compressor needs the battery at maximum power). Press the button to raise or lower the vehicle and we will hear a buzzing sound (it is the compressor activating). Once the desired height is reached, the system will automatically turn off. Remember that driving at high speeds with the car raised is impossible: the system will automatically lower the car to normal driving height.
