What does it mean when the chassis function of a BMW X5 is restricted?

The restricted chassis function of a BMW X5 can be understood as limitations in the adjustment of the suspension system. The main causes of restricted chassis function include damaged or failed height sensors; damaged or leaking air shock absorbers; damaged air compressor; VDP control program malfunction; damaged or leaking accumulator; damaged or stuck air distribution valve; and air leaks in the air lines. Below are specific details about the BMW X5: 1. Body dimensions: The BMW X5 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV under the BMW brand, with a length of 4930 mm, width of 2004 mm, height of 1776 mm, and a wheelbase of 2975 mm. 2. Powertrain configuration: The BMW X5 is equipped with two engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed B48, delivers 265 horsepower and a maximum torque of 400 Nm, with peak power output between 5000 and 6000 rpm and maximum torque available from 1550 to 4500 rpm. The 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, codenamed B58, produces 340 horsepower and a maximum torque of 450 Nm, achieving peak power between 5500 and 6500 rpm and maximum torque from 1500 to 5200 rpm.
I drive a BMW X5, and once the chassis function was limited due to a malfunction in the suspension system's sensor. The car was unstable, bouncing up and down, and a warning light lit up on the dashboard. Later, I took it to the 4S shop for inspection, and the technician said the sensor was either dusty or corroded by moisture, causing inaccurate signals, which led the system to automatically limit the chassis function to prevent loss of control. After they cleaned and replaced it, the issue was resolved. Now, during every six-month maintenance, I remind the mechanic to check the chassis sensors and wiring to prevent minor issues from turning into major repairs. Also, remember that similar problems can be caused by software errors, so regularly updating the vehicle's system is crucial.
