How to raise mercedes air suspension

Raising the air suspension on a Mercedes vehicle equipped with AIRMATIC or similar systems can usually be done through the vehicle's infotainment or control settings. Here's how to do it:

1. Start the Engine: Ensure the engine is running or at least in accessory mode to power the suspension system.

2. Locate the Suspension Controls:

   • Check near the center console, typically around the gear shifter or dashboard.
   • Look for a button or knob with an icon resembling a car with arrows pointing upward or a similar suspension-related symbol.

3. Engage the Raising Function:

   • Press the button or select the appropriate option on the infotainment screen.
   • The vehicle will begin lifting. You may hear the compressor working and feel the vehicle rising.

4. Monitor the Dashboard: The dashboard display or infotainment system will often indicate the current height setting. Some models have a visual indicator or message confirming the raised position.

5. Drive at Lower Speeds: Air suspension typically stays in the raised position only at lower speeds (usually below 35–50 mph) for off-road or clearance purposes. It will automatically lower at higher speeds for stability.

If your Mercedes model has a different system or you're unsure, refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions. If the system doesn't respond, it might need servicing, as air suspension components can wear over time.
