    Default Mercedes lowering AIRMATIC and ABC suspension

    Hallo!
    I am new at this forum, but working with mercedes for couple of years.

    I work with different version 04/2006 , 03/2009 and 10/2010 but one thing i still not found, how to lower the car.

    I often heard its possible to do it in the developer mode.. but if you go to " Entwicklungsdaten -> Steuerger?te Anpassung " in the AIRmatic you dont have the point "Steuerger?te-Anpassung (Variantencodierung)" just Download and exchange of controll units.

    Would be nice if someone could help.

    NO EMAILS MATE PLEASE!!!!

    not going to argue with anybody that says otherwise, why not space out the funky sensors on the bags, Either use some long bolts and washers, or try spacing it out with some

    although i might be talking bollocks, as it's only a guess

    yes you can do it by das in ordinary mode , but each time you enter a height value you have to enter equivalent angle value for whhels angle , otherwise it showed value out of limit

    you need a tool a romess tool to get the right angle value and i wish i can get one

    Hi
    I come little late for this Thread
    But I need solution for this also

    I have W211 E55, and I use Stardiag
    go in
    w211
    chassi
    airmatic
    initialing
    and I do lower front and back axel
    but the its come /must put the angle front and back axel
    front is 3,1-4,1
    back is -0,9 to -1,5

    but I try evrything
    and stil come -calibration is in wrong angle-

    How to found solution for this

    So which angle values did you enter front/rear? As long as you do not change the suspension level to outside the acceptable sensor readings (e.g. front left 1,8V - 2,8 V, front right 2,2V - 3,2V, rear 2.2 - 3,0V) and set the angle values e.g. to the middle of the allowed range, DAS should accept the calibrated values and save the settings.

    Within this range there is no need to use developer mode. I understand experts are able to exceed those sensor limits somehow, likely with developer mode settings. Anyone who knows may share instructions for this.

    Some like it when their car looks funny. Then they crawl over speed bumps.

    There should be one file that has the voltage limits for the DAS menus but another file covers the actual acceptance limits. Easy to find those, the F-drive does not have that many files to be looked at.

    allready prowled though there, nothing cought my attention. Well, have to look more carefully.


    edit, even when one needs lower the car in reasonable height's , the "factory" limit in DAS is not enough :/
