Can You Still Drive When the Air Suspension Light Is On?
1 Answers
You cannot drive when the air suspension light is on because if the air suspension is damaged, the vehicle body may collapse, making it impossible to continue driving. Air suspension is commonly used in many high-end vehicles and consists of air springs filled with compressed air and shock absorbers with variable damping. Unlike traditional suspension systems, air suspension offers several advantages: 1. It can adjust its stiffness based on road conditions—becoming firmer during high-speed driving to reduce aerodynamic drag and enhance stability. 2. When the car is driven at low speeds for extended periods, the control unit interprets this as driving on rough terrain, softening the suspension to improve ride comfort. 3. During high-speed cornering, the air springs and shock absorbers on the outer wheels automatically stiffen to reduce body roll.
