Abstract

A method of adjusting the height of a vehicle provided with an air suspension system capable of adjusting the vehicle height and having two air chambers capable of being communicated with and shut off from each other. The method comprises the steps of shutting off temporarily one air chamber from the remaining one and supplying the compressed air to the other air chamber when the vehicle height is to be increased. The supply of the compressed air is carried out at the same time as or prior to the shutting-off.
