What are the advantages of the "adaptive 2-axle air suspension" in my BMW iX and how do I activate the feature?

The two-axle self-leveling suspension uses air springs to ensure the best possible driving comfort. Regardless of the load, the vehicle will be maintained at the configured vehicle level.

The shock absorbers can be set from comfortable to sporty via the My Modes drive modes.

Depending on the driving situation, the vehicle level can be set to different levels:

Normal level: for normal road condition.

Elevated level: in poor road conditions or for light terrain.

 

Together with the electronically controlled shock absorbers, it always finds the right compromise between comfort and dynamics, taking your driving situation into account. With My Modes, you can influence the suspension setting according to the selected driving mode.

 

Before turning the feature on or off make sure all doors are closed. Opening a door while raising or lowering the vehicle interrupts the process. The process continues after closing the door.

 

Perform the following to activate/deactivate self-leveling suspension:

To deactivate system: Press and hold the Self-leveling suspension button for approx. 7 seconds, until the LED flashes rapidly.

  • The system can be deactivated, e.g., to change a wheel or for towing.

To activate system: Press the Self-leveling suspension button and hold for approx. 7 seconds, then release.

  • The self-leveling suspension is automatically activated after driving off at speeds above approx. 6 mph/10 km/h.

 

You can also set the vehicle level manually by pressing the Self-leveling suspension button. Depending on vehicle speed, using this button lifts the vehicle to the raised level.

 

Level changes are indicated in the instrument display and with a flashing LED on the self-leveling suspension button.

  • LED off: Normal vehicle level.
  • LED flashes: Vehicle level is being adjusted.
  • LED illuminates: Raised vehicle level.
  • LED flashes rapidly: Vehicle level cannot be adjusted.
