| Suspension extension mode |
|
I’m pretty sure I have read this thread sometime ago, anyone can shed some light on how to switch between normal and extended mode?
Thanks

Easy, from normal height YOU can select off road height.
IF the car senses that it is grounded underneath, or if it thinks it is stuck, it will go into EXTENDED MODE by itself. This raises the the height a little more.
When the car is in extended mode, YOU can select SUPER EXTENDED MODE! To do this, select Park or Neutral, press and hold the brake pedal, press and hold the height selector switch for 4 seconds. A bong will be heard and the car will raise a bit more. You will get a different off road height icon in the LCD Info display.
***Caution*** this mode is purely for getting out of a stuck situation, don't go driving around too much, especially avoid full steering lock or using too much power as the front CV joints are at maximum articulation, and can separate with expensive results!
You can try this out by selecting off road height and jacking the chassis slightly whilst the engine is running. Then you can do the procedure described to get SUPER EXTENDED 8)

You can get it to go into extended mode by putting it in off road height and sticking a block of wood under the chassis, then lower to normal height. It will go into extended height. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
