GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / ECAS electronic suspension
French term or phrase: assiette de conduite
Le témoin de contrôle [de l'ECAS] de l’interrupteur signale quand l’assiette supérieure est atteinte. Le témoin de contrôle indique également l’assiette de conduite.
I assume assiette de conduite would be the level of air suspension for driving, but is there a simpler way to phrase it? "Driving suspension" seems to refer to having your driver's license suspended. This is about the ECAS system of a bus.

normal suspension driving height
Explanation:
Another way of expressing what Chris Collins has said. I think that "ground clearance" might also be worked in such as "Normal ground clearance when driving".
