If corrosion is light, wire brush away corrosion. If
corrosion is excessive renew wheel studs and wheel
nuts. Lubricate th e first three threads of wheel
studs with a graphite based lubricant.

3. Raise vehicle and support on st ands. Refer to Section 100-02.

4. R

1. Remove wheel nuts.
2. Remove wheel.
1. CAUTION: Do not allow grease to contaminate the wheel
stud threads and wheel nut to wh eel mating surface, as this may
cause the nuts to loosen.
• NOTE: To prevent the wheel corroding on to the hub, smear a
thin layer of grease onto the hub mounting face and spigot; and
wheel mounting face and spigot hole.

Instal

1. Install wheel.
2. Install wheel nuts to secure wheel in position.
3. Lower vehicle.
4. Tighten wheel nuts in a diagonal sequence to:
Steel wh

The
Nivomat ride levelling system improves ride quality by al
lowing the use of softer road springs, while controlling the
effects on the suspension of a fully laden vehicle. The system uses special rear dampers in place of the normal units. There
are no other components in th e system. The ride levelling system is comple tely automatic, requiring no input from the
driver.
Ride levelling may be specified as an opti on on certain models; it is not available in north American markets. Ride levelling
and adaptive damping are mu tually exclusive options.
The Nivomat damper:
Su
pplements the load-carrying capacity of th
e road springs at high vehicle loads.
Uses road inputs to the
suspension to power the levelling function.
De

tects suspension height dire
ctly from road wheel travel.
Provi
des load-dependent spring rates; the ac
cumulator gas pressure increases with load.
Pr
ovides load-dependent damping; the fluid pressure increases with load.
Op

eration
F
ollowing an increase in vehicle loading,
the dampers adapt to maintain the height of the vehicle within its design range.
The system uses road inputs to the suspension to power the levelling action, and requires up to approximately two
kilometers of travel, following a change in load, to complete the process.
Normal movement of the suspension caus es a pumping action to occur within the damper, as a result of extension and
compression of the pump rod in the pump chamber. Hydraulic fluid is pumped from the pump cham ber into a high pressure
gas accumulator. The increase in gas pressure augments the force developed between th e vehicle axle and the body,
thereby providing lift.

Op
era
tion
Th
e
system selects the soft or
firm damper setting according to the current ro ad and driving conditions, to optimise vehicle
ride and handling.
With the vehicle stationary, the dampers are in the firm setting, but will normally switch to the soft setting when the vehicle
exceeds 8 km/h (5 mile/h); all dampers are switched simultaneously.
Sudden movement of the vehicle body, in response to road inputs, is detected by the vertical accelerometers, and the ADCM
switches the dampers to the firm setting to give improved damping of the resultant oscillations.
When cornering forces are detected by th e lateral accelerometer, the ADCM switches the dampers to the firm setting to
reduce the roll rate an d improve wheel control.
After the event has passed, the dampers revert to the soft setting.
When the footbrake is applied, the ADCM re ceives a signal and calculates the rate of vehicle deceleration. If the deceleration
rate is greater than a certain threshold, the dampers are switched to the firm setting to reduce the pitch rate and improve
wheel control.
If a system failure occurs, the ADCM grounds the output line to the instrument cluster message center, which displays a
text warning SUSPENSION FAULT and illuminates the amber warning lamp. Under fault conditions the system always fails to
the firm setting, so that the vehicle will be safe to drive un der all road and driving conditions.
