Air suspension
109
’Access’ can also be preselected up to 40
seconds before the vehicle stops. However,
the suspension will not begin to lower until
the vehicle is stationary with the parking brake
applied, the gear selector in the ’P’ (park)
position and the footbrake released.
Preselection is automatically cancelled if the
40 second period is exceeded.
NOTE: If a door/tailgate is opened or the
footbrake is applied while the vehicle is
changing height, the change will be
interrupted.
When moving off, vehicle height automatically
returns to ’Standard’ (’Low’ if ’Inhibit’ mode
was operational BEFORE ’Access’ was
selected).
If ’Inhibit’ mode is selected AFTER ’Access’,
’Crawl’ mode is selected (see ’Crawl’ mode).
WARNING
Always take care when UNLOADING your
vehicle in an area where height is
restricted.
With the starter switch turned off, the
suspension will automatically re-level the
vehicle every time a door (or the tailgate) is
opened and then closed (and every few
hours thereafter).
After unloading, the height of the vehicle
will therefore increase.
Crawl mode
If it is necessary to manoeuvre the vehicle in
an area where height is restricted, ’Crawl’
mode should be selected as follows:
• Select ’Access’.
• If the ’Inhibit’ mode is already active,
release the ’Inhibit’ switch (indicator light
extinguishes).
• Press the ’Inhibit’ switch (indicator light
illuminates).
• The message centre emits an audible
warning and ’EAS MANUAL’ is displayed.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
While in ’Crawl’ mode: If the vehicle
exceeds 10 mph (16 km/h), the message
centre emits an audible warning and
displays ’SLOW: 20 MPH MAX’ (’SLOW:
40 KMH MAX’).
If the vehicle exceeds 25 mph (40 km/h),
the ride height automatically changes to
’Low’.
If the vehicle then slows to 20 mph (32
km/h), the EAS automatically returns to
’Crawl’ mode.
If road speed reduces to 5 mph (8 km/h),
the message centre emits an audible
warning and displays ’EAS MANUAL’.
If the engine is switched off in ’Crawl’
mode, the vehicle will return to ’Access’
mode when restarted. If ’Crawl’ is still
required, it MUST be reselected !
