Wife and Air Suspension

[jesus_man]

I think it is because your weight is no longer in the truck.

Ahh, so it's leveling itself out. Nice!

I wish there was a feature that would lower the suspension to access height when the vehicle was put into park. Anyone ever notice that you can put it in access mode, but it seems to lower just a bit more if you open the back hatch? Maybe it's just been coincedence??

You'd have to check the manual, but I am pretty sure that is on purpose, and its to facilitate loading. I had a buddy program his key fob to do that....

The manual is printed on the back of $100 bills, produced by the C.A.S.H. organization, a division of T.I.M.E

I'd like to know how to program the key fob to do that. AFAIK, there were only three options and none of those were "Access mode". I don't have the manual in front of me, although I can download it.

You can program it to do access mode. Few use use it I think because you have to have to unlock the car and turn the emergency flashers on first to engage it.

I can see why, I would like it to lower as I hit the button. Nannies to protect ourselves I guess.

As I recall it's more than just access mode - you can program it to raise and lower through any mode; but with the flashers on, I can't see much point, other then if you were attaching a trailer ...

Easy enough to try out... Cant be clear if the flashers are advisory, or cumpolsory....

Air suspension control
Press and hold the Land Rover button and
press the suspension raise/lower switch. A
chime will confirm the feature is programmed.
Programming of this function must be done
within one minute of switching off the engine.
Before attempting to raise or lower the
suspension, turn on the hazard warning lamps
and close all the doors.
To raise the suspension, press and hold the
Land Rover button and the lock button.


Keys and remote controls
To lower the suspension, press and hold the
Land Rover button and the unlock button.
If any button is released during the raising or
lowering, all movement will stop, until the
buttons are pressed again.
Initially the height will change slowly, but will
increase after three seconds.
While the height is changing, a symbol on the
raise/lower switch will be lit, according to the
direction of movement. See ADJUSTING THE
SUSPENSION (page 176).
If the suspension is not set to On-road height,
all movement will stop when On-road height is
reached. Release the buttons and press again,
to continue. See ADJUSTING THE
SUSPENSION (page 176).

Now that I read that, it does sound familiar, but the turning on the flashers makes it not worth it.
