Thread: SLS Functionality Question (Fob vs Transport Mode)

I'm no expert but my understanding is transport mode is for when the vehicle is being transported like when it came out here by ship. Obviously the dealer cancels that prior to sale. Its not for any kind of normal driving use. The remote is probably just changing height in the normal use range. My guess would be that the remote by itself can't put it into transport mode.

I did think that but rave does say the remote should lower it to the bump stops.

Can anybody who has one confirm please?

Both should lower to the stops.

The difference will be that transport mode keeps the vehicle on the bump stops until the ecu is taken out of transport mode.

The fob lower is over ridden when the vehicle travels above 5kmh for more than 10 seconds.

Thanks - so any ideas what I could be doing wrong or is it that my spacers are confusing the ECU?

I think you have hit the nail on the head.

Transport mode lets all the air go, and there it stays until it is told otherwise.

The lowering remote lets the air out of the bags, which in a normal car, would put it on the stops, but only just, leaving more air in the bags, so the compressor doesn't need to work as hard to re-inflate.

There would be a "lowered" height, which the ECU thinks it is reaching when you lower it via the remote.

I cant recall properly, but you could probably be able to set this lower height via a Nanocom.
