Abstract
A method for calibrating an adaptive chassis system of a motor vehicle within the production process of the vehicle is provided. The vehicle has a sensor for determining the compression or rebound state of an element of the chassis system. Sensor signals of the sensor are supplied to a control unit in which a generic sensor characteristic is stored. The method includes, after the installation of the element and the sensor, detecting the sensor signals as a function of the compression and rebound state of the element during the production process and supplying the sensor signals as raw data to the control unit. A dependence of the values of the sensor signals of the sensor on a measurement value defining the compression and rebound state of the element is determined from the raw data and from the generic sensor characteristic by an algorithm deposited in the control unit.
