Have you got it to squat at speed?

**Ozzy119** · 3rd September 2012, 06:27 PM

Hi all,

I'm just wondering what speed setting the car has for it to squat into 'excess speed height' and whether it shows that setting on the driver console?

I haven't had much opportunity here to try it (in the nanny state) but I'm originally from UK and would do 95 -100mph happily on motorway. I'm guessing that would squat it?

I always thought it was 160kph

Unless you have LLAMS of course which you can select at any speed which is good fun on twisty roads

Yes, at above 160 kph it does squat so to speak.

I tried it on long stretch between long reach and Winton didn't drop?

I tried to on a long straight stretch between Winton and Longreach. No luck? Took for ever to get to 100mph !

From the WSM...

High Speed Mode

In later software a high speed mode is introduced. High speed mode is a non-selectable, automatic mode which lowers the vehicle height by 20 mm to improve vehicle handling. This feature is fully automated and is 'invisible' to the driver.

If the vehicle speed exceeds 100 mph (160 km/h) for more than 5 seconds, the air suspension control module initiates the high speed mode. When the vehicle speed reduces to less than 80 mph (130 km/h) for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle returns to 'on-road' height. This function is cancelled if a trailer is connected to the trailer socket.

A guy I know recons his 3.0l gets to 160 pretty easy, in fact 187 (indicated) and he reported no sensation or indication of lowering.

Maybe he wasn't there long enough...I'll have to tell him.....

I can assure you it works

Made a 40 minute drive a sub 25 minute drive

Felt like it was on rails too......

Funny that the function is cancelled if towing. You'd think the car might have something to say about someone attempting to tow at 160km/h.

You need to be doing >100mph for >1min, then the car will 'squat' slightly.

Of course, I only ever see this on the test track and have never seen it on the late night runs from London on the M4...
