Air suspension
107
Your vehicle is fitted with an electronically
controlled air suspension system (EAS) which
provides five different ride height settings
including an ’Access’ mode. These settings
increase or decrease the height and ground
clearance of your vehicle to cope with
different driving conditions.
In addition, the EAS also provides automatic
suspension levelling.
Before operating EAS
Remember, even if a change of ride height is
selected, it will NOT take place:
• If the tailgate or any door is open.
• Whilst the footbrake is continuously
applied for less than 3 minutes.
• If the engine is not running (except for
selection of ’Access’ within 40 seconds of
switching off).
If the ’Access’ mode is required, ensure the
parking brake is applied and that the gear
selector lever is moved to position ’P’.
NOTE: Frequent changes between ride
heights could cause the compressor to
overheat. If this occurs, EAS will be fully
operational again after a few minutes when
the compressor has cooled.
CONTROLS
Ride height selector (1)
Press and release the upper or lower arrow on
the rocker switch to raise or lower the vehicle
to the next ride height setting (the relevant
indicator light will illuminate).
’Inhibit’ switch (2)
The indicator light in the switch illuminates as
a bulb check when the starter is initially turned
to position ’II’.
• Press the switch to select ’Inhibit’ mode
(indicator light illuminates). This will
prevent automatic changes between
Standard and Low ride height.
• Press the switch again to switch off.
NOTE: Even in ’Inhibit’ mode, the ride height
can automatically change from
’Access’/’Crawl’ to the ’Low’ ride height and
from Extended or High profile to High or
Standard.
Ride height indicator panel (3)
All indicator lights illuminate as a bulb check
when the starter switch is initially turned to
position ’II’ and remain illuminated until the
engine is started.
Each indicator light illuminates separately
while a height setting is in operation. When a
change in height is activated, the indicator
lights illuminate in the following sequence:
• The new height indicator light flashes.
• When the new height is reached, its
indicator light stops flashing and
illuminates continuously (the previous
indicator light extinguishes).
