ABSTRACT:
According to an embodiment of the invention it is proposed, for determining the weight of the useful load on a vehicle, that the height of the vehicle body above the chassis be determined, this height be compared with a threshold value and that a switch is made between a hard damping characteristic (for a heavy useful load) and a soft damping characteristic (for a light useful load) in a springing and damping system depending on the sign of the deviation from the threshold value.
