Load-Leveling System for Your Volkswagen Routan SUV First Generation (2009-2014)

1
LOAD-LEVELING SYSTEM — IF EQUIPPED  
The automatic load-leveling system will provide a level  
riding vehicle under most passenger and cargo loading  
conditions.  
WARNING!  
Do not install a load-leveling system on vehicles that  
are not equipped with Anti-Lock Brakes. Vehicles  
without Anti-Lock Brakes (ABS) have a height-  
sensing proportioning valve. Installing a leveling  
system will render this system ineffective, inappro-  
priately reducing rear brake pressure, resulting in  
increased stopping distances. You could have a seri-  
ous accident.  
A hydraulic pump contained within the shock absorbers  
raises the rear of the vehicle to the correct height. It takes  
approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) of driving for the leveling  
to complete depending on road surface conditions.  
If the leveled vehicle is not moved for approximately  
15 hours, the leveling system will bleed itself down. The  
vehicle must be driven to reset the system.
