Vehicle trim height is noted by height sensors. They are used to note changes in the load on the vehicle and allow the suspension to compensate for it, maintaining the ideal body height. In addition to noting load changes within the vehicle and compensating for them, some height sensors are used to inform the suspension module of road ondulations(such as railroad tracks). In addition to vehicle height, the module requires input signals to indicate which part of the vehicle needs a height correction. One sensor, located in the front of the rear axle detects load changes in the luggage compartment and passenger rear seats. The remaining two sensors are positioned at each front wheel to detect driver and passenger seat loads. 2, record 14, English, - height%20sensor

La hauteur de suspension est mesurée par les capteurs de hauteur. Ces capteurs permettent de déceler les variations de charge, dont la suspension doit tenir compte pour maintenir la hauteur caractéristique de la carosserie. En plus de mesurer les variations de charge du véhicule et de permettre à la suspension de les compenser, certains capteurs de hauteur informent le module de commande des irrégularités de la route (comme c'est le cas lorsque la voiture traverse un passage à niveau). En plus de la hauteur du véhicule, le module exige d'autres signaux pour lui indiquer quelle partie de la voiture exige une correction de hauteur. Un capteur, situé en avant de l'essieu arrière, mesure les variations de charge dans le coffre et au niveau des sièges arrière. Les deux autres capteurs sont situés au niveau de chaque roue avant, pour mesurer la charge supportée par le siège du conducteur et le siège du passager. 1, record 14, French, - capteur%20de%20hauteur
