Ground clearance precise figures
Hi,
Would one of you guys know the precise ground clearance of our beloved D3 in her different modes?
I am not at all sure of the accuracy of the figures I could find so far
(in mm)
access mode: 135 (-50 from on-road mode)
high speed 160-130 km/h: 165 (-20 from on-road mode)
on road: 185
off road: 240 (+55 from on-road mode)
extended mode: 278 (+38 from off-road mode)
extended mode +: 316 (+38 from extended mode)
Does this table look correct to you?
Thanks,
Fred

The 'official' figures are:-
Access -50mm from standard
High speed -20mm from standard
Offroad +55mm from standard
Iv'e seen the extended and 'extended +' heights somewhere but I can't find them 38mm for each looks familiar though

...Anyone feel like double-checking this one with a tape measure? Dr. Ian Malcolm:

Transgenic tomato anyone?

High speed height
This feature lowers the suspension ride height
by 20mm, if the vehicle exceeds 160 km/h (100
mph) for longer than five seconds. This action
is automatic and cannot be over-ridden. Ride
height will return to normal when vehicle speed
remains below 130 km/h (80 mph) for 30
seconds.
