How Long Can the Mercedes-Benz Chassis Lift Be Maintained?

Mercedes-Benz chassis lift can be maintained for 20 seconds. The function and spraying method of chassis armor are as follows: Function of chassis armor: It mainly prevents direct damage to the chassis from road gravel and protrusions. The sound insulation effect of chassis armor can effectively resist the intrusion of chassis noise into the car, providing a quiet and comfortable environment while driving. Method for spraying chassis armor: Lift the vehicle to a certain height, use a rust remover to spray and remove rust from the rusty areas first, then wipe off the moisture with a cloth; use the first bottle of chassis armor for the initial spray, paying attention to even application during the operation; the first bottle of coating is just a foundation, and several more bottles need to be sprayed afterward; after spraying is completed, let the vehicle dry naturally.

I own a Mercedes-Benz GLE and have used the air suspension system several times. When parking, raising the chassis can usually maintain the height for several hours without issues, roughly 3-5 hours. However, in cold weather or if the car is left unused for a while, the duration shortens to about one or two hours before it lowers. Once driving, it automatically adjusts the height to adapt to the road conditions, so there's no need to keep it elevated continuously. Many factors influence this—for example, when the battery is low, the system conserves power by lowering automatically, or prolonged driving on bumpy roads can cause air pressure leaks, reducing the duration. It's advisable not to leave it raised for too long while stationary, as the wheel and suspension components endure extra stress and may wear out faster. Personally, I try to raise it only when necessary, such as going over speed bumps or through flooded areas, then return it to normal afterward. Overall, the system is quite reliable, but it's important to pay attention to the car's age and maintenance condition.

The Mercedes chassis lifting system operates via air springs. When parked, it can maintain height for several hours without issues, but the actual duration depends on system sealing and air pressure stability. Tested on the G-Class, it held elevated height for over half a day during off-road use; urban models like the E-Class may last shorter, typically 2-4 hours. Influencing factors include: faster air leakage due to expansion in high temperatures, component wear from frequent use, and early lowering triggered by poor battery condition activating protection mechanisms. The automatic return feature is a safety design to prevent tire overstress. Common issues with older vehicles involve air leaks, often improved by replacing seals. Overall, newer models are more durable, with duration largely determined by maintenance habits and driving conditions.

When using the Mercedes-Benz chassis lifting function, the parked height increase typically lasts for about an hour and automatically resets when driving away without affecting driving. I find it quite practical, especially for raising the chassis to protect the suspension on rough roads, and it lowers itself back to normal after a few hours. There aren't many influencing factors, mainly the vehicle's condition: with a strong battery and stable system, it can hold for 1-3 hours; an older vehicle might shorten this to half an hour. The built-in system intelligence prevents prolonged high pressure to avoid damaging components. Daily use is hassle-free, as you don't need to worry about maintaining the height while driving. With simple regular maintenance, the duration remains reliable.
