i4lean Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Hello! I just got my Galaxy 2018 AWD. It will often be fully loaded with family and gear so I prefer to have automatic regulation to avoid the car "sitting down too low" at the rear end. Reading the Galaxy broschure I see that "automatic regulation" is not available as an option to AWD (only for 2WD). Does anyone know why? Is there already some sort of automatic regulation on AWD?

unofix Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Do you have a headlight level adjustment switch next to your light switch ? If yes, then you have manual adjustment of headlight level. If no, then you already have automatic headlight level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Is this not adaptive suspension levelling rather than headlight levelling? I don't know enough about Galaxy specs to answer the question though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just assumed that the OP was referring to leveling the headlights when the back end was sitting down. Since we don't know what country they are in their options and specifications are possibly different to the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i4lean Posted August 10, 2022 Author Share Posted August 10, 2022 Thanks for the ideas. No, I do not have "manual light adjustments". The car is in Sweden. Most likely "adaptive suspension levelling" is a better wording then "level regulation". Reading the manual again I see that "adaptive suspension levelling" is not an options if you have electric manouvered towbar. Since I have both AWS and electric towbar but no manual light adjustment I wonder what type/if any " "adaptive suspension levelling" I have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a look at the shock absorbers, you will see a large 'lump' at the bottom of the shock, with an electrical wire and plug if you have any sort of active/adaptive suspension.

i4lean Posted August 20, 2022 Author Share Posted August 20, 2022 Thanks Tom! I took a look and there or sure is some sort of electrical wire and plug. See picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you've definitely got active shock absorbers there. Unfortunately I don't know how they're controlled on the Galaxy. I suspect it is automatic on the AWD version without the option to switch it off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
