Method for changing the level of a utility vehicle with pneumatic suspension system

The method involves actuating a valve (3) into an open state, and connecting an air suspension unit (1) having a pressure level with an air reservoir having another level via the valve. An estimate is determined for a future point in time from values that correlate with a desired level of the suspension unit, vehicle actual loading conditions and an actual pressure value. The valve is actuated into a closed state using the estimate.
