Access mode

Since I have had the software enhancement done I have found that as long as my speed is above the the point where the suspension height automatically returns to normal, about 25 mph, I can select access height and it will stay there even up to motorway speeds . Once the speed goes below the magical 20 odd on accelerating again the suspension returns to normal. has anyone else noticed this or is it the new BLING setting?

I think you'd notice the ride was VERY bouncy if it had lowered Smile Would feel very odd to drive.

tried this today. It tells you access height selected, but it doesnt actually lower.... its waiting for speed to drop sub 20mph. you can tell as the down light on the adjustment knob flashes untill car is down and this is flashing as you are driving. eventually it just cancels. if you try and raise it tells you to decrease speed. So unfortunately no lowered suspension at high speeds. Sad 2004 TDV6 HSE Auto Zambezi Silver

...so all is normal with the suspension system then Smile If you slow down it will lower... and you lock it in access height by holding the lever for a few secs.
