Thread: Air suspension auto lower

More control is what's needed. Another 10kph in off road height and the option to manually select extended and super extended.

I would like auto-height control with another 20kph on off-road speed AND I would like ability to control manually as well.

another 10K and modify the lowering bing so that it only warns you once that you need to slow down.

I agree that more control is what's needed.
I believe that somewhere from 60kph to 80kph in off road height.
DEFINITELY the option to manually select extended and super extended even if that is only for limited speeds of up to say 10 or 20kph.
Ideally all of these settings should be configurable in some way ie.
like the driver overspeed alert.
The (computer in the) car should be smart enough to adjust DSC to suit your settings.

I think that the speed they have set it to is way too Nanny State but I can understand that they want it to lower at some speed rather than allowing us to control it manually. So I would say give me up to 80kph and I would probably be happy. I believe it would still be quite safe at that speed.

And yes I would like to be able to manually select the extended modes. Makes sense to select them before you get stuck.

So that doesn't quite fit the poll does it so I will go for full manual control.

CaverD3 how is the manual control stuff coming along?

I'm a bit like Timj - it probably does have to lower at some speed, but 50 km/h is too low. It would also be nice to manually select extended mode

What I want to know is who voted for it being perfect the way it is, and why.

I'm of the view it should be the same as the Touareg; complete manual control over all modes, auto-lower at 70kmph for offroad, auto-lower at 20 for Extended. If VW can get it right why not Land Rover.

Agree with most others, lowers too early, there are plenty of tracks where you can easily do 60K if it is dry, but there is a hump in the middle and you want to make sure there are no nasty bumps if you come across abit with a rock or slightly deeper ruts unexpectedly.

I also agree that it should probably lower at some point in case you just forget when you get back on the road but probably around 60-65 would be good.

Also agree on the need to manually select extend and super extend, I would prefer not to ground my vehicle in teh first place thank you very much.

Also need to be able to use the remote to control access height without the stupidity of having to have the warning lights on first which makes the ability to do this useless. You want to be able to lower it as you approach the vehicle with the load.
