The internal pressure of the first air spring is controllable by the additional volume module. The device comprises a limited auxiliary volume, which is fluidically coupled to the additional volume by means of a fluid conveying unit and a second fluid connection, it being possible, when the distance changes between said seat elements due to a shift in weight of the mass on the upper seat element, to change the internal pressure of the additional volume and, indirectly, of the first air spring by a fluid being conveyed between the auxiliary volume and the additional volume by means of the fluid conveying unit in order to compensate for the change in distance.
