5 Series E61 520d (M47T2) TOUR
The left and right-hand sides of the vehicle are raised or lowered in parallel.
The difference in height between the two sides is maintained.
When the EHC control unit goes into drive mode, control function
"Twist" is terminated. An ongoing regulation sequence will be cancelled. The "Twist" control function is
ended if the height differential between the left and right sides of the vehicle drops below a predefined
value.
Level-up function (only E61 All-wheel drive until 09/2006)
The level-up function is used to automatically raise the rear of the vehicle after stopping and getting out of
the vehicle.
After stopping, the vehicle is automatically raised as follows:
-
Vehicle left
and
vehicle "secured" with central locking.
The height is automatically adjusted after a short delay.
Alternatively
-
Vehicle left
and
vehicle not "secured" with central locking.
The height is automatically adjusted after a longer delay.
When the EHC control unit goes into drive mode, the level-up function is ended The vehicle is lowered to its
normal height.
Inclination detection after tyre pressure loss (only E70, E71 with 8-cylinder engine or option 4UB "3rd
row of seats")
If the Run Flat Indicator (RPA) or tyre pressure control (RDC) detects a loss of pressure at one wheel, the
control function will relieve the load on the affected tyre.
When the tyre pressure loss has been rectified and the Run Flat Indicator / tyre pressure control no longer
indicates a pressure loss, this control function will automatically be ended after about 5 minutes with the
engine running.
Lifting platform
In the "Lifting platform" control function, any adjustment is prevented during a wheel change or other work
carried out on the lifting platform.
The following conditions trigger the "Lifting platform" control function:
-
Permissible spring extension exceeded (e.g. more than 50 millimetres, recorded by left and/or right-
hand level sensor)
-
Vehicle raised slightly (spring extension e.g. less than 55 millimetres), regulation starts but vehicle is
not lowered
The height is stored in the EHC control unit.
A reset is performed when the vehicle is again e.g. 10 millimetres under this stored height or when drive
mode is detected.
Transport mode
The specified height is raised in transport mode (e.g. 30 mm). The increased ground clearance
guarantees risk-free transportation of the vehicle.
Production mode
Production mode is employed for assembly on the production line and prevents regulation sequences from
being initiated.
