Jacking a car with air ride! How?

i had a friend that had a Lincoln with airbag suspension and when had to jack the car he had to shut something off in the trunk..

how does the airmatic work?

is it ok to just jack it with a floor jack?

No difference on an MB. You might prefer to select the raised position first, then you have less to jack up and the car would remain more levelled, perhaps the Lincoln had something similar?

You can jack the MB up like any other car. The old Lincolns air bags would pop if you didn't turn the pump off in the trunk...i could be wrong but i'm sure that's what i've heard.

I remember when the Navigators first came out, the repairs that had to be made if the system wasn't disabled when transporting them.
