Abstract: A level control valve for automatically keeping constant the vehicle height of a commercial vehicle with air suspension has a spring-loaded double valve body 22, an inlet seat 24 on the housing 2 and a hollow valve tappet 11 which bears an outlet seat 25 for the double valve body 22, is displaceable in a sealing manner, and the position of which relative to the housing 2 can be changed via an adjustment drive which senses the vehicle height. There is at least one port 6, provided on the housing 2, for a line 7 leading to an air suspension bellows 8 and a port 3 for a storage line 4 leading to the inlet valve 22, 24. The level control valve 1 has a shutoff and outlet valve 36, which can be controlled arbitrarily and independently of the adjustment drive and is of large cross-section, for the rapid lowering of the vehicle structure.
