Abstract
An air control system for an air suspension which supports a vehicle body on an axle having ground engageing wheels. A control valve mounted adjacent a door of the vehicle is operated by opening the door to dump air from the air springs and to deactivate a height control valve for the air springs. Upon closing the door, the control valve disables the dumping system and re-enables the height control valve for automatic reinflation of the air springs.
