Suspension Access Mode
Can you program the D3 to always go to Access Mode on the suspension by default and then return to Road Ride Height when starting?
Mine seems to take a long time to go to access height and then when my other halve drives it she doesnt look to see what mode its in and therefore drives off and gets alarms all over the place after 50 metres.
Anything I can program in to make this automatic would be a bonus.
If it's in access mode when you take off it will automatically rise to normal when you reach 6kph(?). There should only be one 'bong' when this happens.Have a nice day!

Put simply....no....
You can select access height up to 30 seconds before you crawl to a stop and as soon as you get below the threshold speed, it'll start lowering the D3.
There is no need to put it back in normal height before driving off.....it will just rise up on it's own once you go above 5-10km/h (or something like that).
You definitely shouldn't get any alarms sounding But maybe a bong depending on the model year of your D3 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Re: Suspension Access Mode
Thanks all for the advice - will educate her to use it on the part of her drive and not to worry about it when she starts off.
just getting to grips with all this stuff.

Ditto, and only one bong on drive off...If you never try, you'll never know...
I don't get a bong when mine rises automatically (MY06). Why should you - it's not a fault Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills
