Rear Suspension Level Control System — General Information (Opel Astra F)

The suspension level control system has manual control, the level is adjusted by changing the air pressure in the rear shock absorbers via a valve located in the luggage compartment.



For safety reasons, the level control system should not be under maximum pressure unless the vehicle is fully loaded.

The system is adjusted as follows. If the vehicle is not fully loaded, the pressure should be checked with a tire pressure gauge; it should be 0.8 bar. Adjust the pressure if necessary.

With the vehicle on a level surface, measure the distance from the center of the rear bumper to the ground. Subtract 50.0 mm from the measured distance and note the new value.

Load the vehicle and, if necessary, increase the pressure in the system so as to reach the bumper height noted earlier. The pressure must not be increased above 5.0 bar.

After unloading the vehicle, reduce the pressure in the system to a minimum of 0.8 bar.

It is not possible to drive an unloaded vehicle with a system where the pressure is brought to maximum.
