Control Modes: Advance/Overrun

When the vehicle is woken out of sleep mode by the load-cutout signal (VA), it normally enters advance/overrun mode. Since the engine is not (no longer) running in this mode, however, there are restrictions on the control operations that can be performed in order to conserve the battery. Ride level compensation is restricted to tolerance ranges of 20 mm and 25 mm in the up and down directions respectively. This serves to reduce the frequency of control operations.

All control operations in advance/overrun mode are executed as long as pressure is available in the accumulator. When the accumulator is empty and the engine is turned off, control operations are directly driven by the compressor. User-activated changes of ride level and filling of the accumulator are not possible.
