    auto lower after off road mode

    My old D4 used to lower back to normal hieght once you went above a certain speed after it had been in off road mode. My D5 doesnt - is there a setting somewhere for this?

    thanks

    Mine does. It is quite a high speed , not sure what but I have come off road and forgotten I was still in high mode and when tootling along the road I get a 'Boing' and message 'Slow down or vehicle will lower' if I ignore it, it lowers of it's own accord.

    Yes it does lower.Off road in the D5 is +75mm. At 50kph (31mph ?) it drops to +40 but there's no bong and you are unlikely to notice unless looking at the vehicle dimension screen. At 80kph / 50mph it drops to normal ride height with a bong and notification if I recall correctly.

    If the car is at access height initially, and you go over 20mph, we get a bong and a message on the digi dash, saying that the car will raise. The car raises to normal height automatically if going over 20mph.

    Mind you i thought that it lowers itself at higher speeds, i.e. 55mph i think approximately to aid stability and reduce drag. (I know the RR does this) but not sure if it applies to the D5 though, as i have never noticed a message or a bong at this speed Question
