ABSTRACT:
A vehicle height adjust control apparatus includes a plurality of actuators provided between a vehicle body and a plurality of wheels that are capable of changing a vehicle height at a wheel position corresponding to each of a plurality of wheels of the vehicle, a vehicle height detector that detects an actual vehicle height at different positions, a controller for controlling the actuators to eliminate deviations of each of the actual vehicle heights detected by the vehicle height detector from corresponding predetermined target vehicle heights and a simultaneous controller linked with the controller that simultaneously changes the actual vehicle height at individual wheel positions by controlling the actuators if the actual vehicle heights detected by the vehicle height detector are deviated from the corresponding target vehicle heights by at least a predetermined value toward the same side.
