ABSTRACT:
A vehicle height control system capable, even if the height of the front side of the vehicle body is raised during the preceding vehicle height control operation by the agency of starting acceleration and the inertia of the body, and thereby the preceding vehicle height control operation for the front side is completed and the height of the front side is lowered thereafter due to the transition of the running mode of the vehicle from an accelerating mode to a constant-speed running mode, of advancing the timing of initiation of the succeeding vehicle height control operation to adjust the height of the front side to a standard height.
The vehicle height control system is provided with a vehicle height control operation initiating device which gives a vehicle height control operation initiating signal to initiate vehicle height control operation to adjust the vehicle height to the standard vehicle height, when the vehicle height determined during a set vehicle height judging time interval is different from the standard vehicle height.
The system is provided further with a vehicle height control operation initiating timing advancing device which sets in the vehicle height control operation initiating device a reduced vehicle height judging time interval which is shorter than the ordinary vehicle height judging time interval, when vehicle height control operation which has been initiated while the vehicle is running at a speed of a set value or below is completed while the vehicle is running at a speed over the set value.
