An improved vehicle height control system comprises vehicle height adjusters responsive to a control signal for adjusting a longitudinal inclination of the vehicle body, an inclination signal generator for generating an inclination signal indicative of an inclination of a road surface on which the vehicle is running, and a control unit for supplying to the vehicle height adjusters the control signal for increasing the height of the rear part of the vehicle body relative to that of the front part thereof when the road surface is ascendant.

Vehicle height control system

For use in a motor vehicle having a windshield, a control system comprises a raindrop sensor which emits a beam of radiation into a section of the windshield from the inner surface thereof at such an angle of incidence that the beam reflects off the outer surface and detects the reflected beam to convert it into a first signal. The first signal is compared with a reference value to generate a second signal. A motor control circuit is responsive to the second signal for closing a window of the vehicle.
