Abstract: A vehicle level detector has a pair of switching elements respectively secured to a vehicle body and a suspension member for displacement with respect to one another corresponding to the displacement of the vehicle body and the suspension member. The switching elements are arranged to detect relative distance between the vehicle body and the suspension member and to produce signals when the detected distance is smaller or greater than predetermined minimum or maximum values. A fail-safe mechanism is provided to urge one of the switching elements to a position normally placing the switching element in relation to the other switching element such that the relative distance between the vehicle body and the suspension member is maintained within a range between the minimum and maximum predetermined values.

Abstract: A vehicle level regulator control system controls the vehicle level regulator to improve the response characteristics of the suspension member in response to the vehicle level detector. The control system includes a means for resetting the preset in the delay means for directly activating the suspension member responsive to the vehicle level detector signal when the starter switch is turned on.
