Nick that evaluates to about 108 mph in reality. With foot flat down, the limiter should be why the car is tettering on the speed and off it.


Just some thing you said!


Ah yes, but I was not far wrong as to the possible reason Wink

A very good point Winger, I knew I had not seen that, but where did Jim get that quote from?


It is on page 193 of the handbook in the section on Air Suspension


Brian, to clarify, Jim got the info out of the 2006MY Handbook. It is NOT in the 2005MY Handbook (either version 1 or 2). The suspension, though, operates the same, regardless, though - unlike Extended Mode - you'd not notice it.


Sorry Brian, I should have thought to mention it was from the MY06 Handbook Embarassed


It is still and interesting point. Have they added another feature that does not work?

Who said it doesn't work? If anyone is interested in checking the height the vehicle drops to, it equates to the semi-access mode height - though in both instances it is quite difficult to get the vehicle to rest at the required level! (It can be done, though)

I suppose with a laser measure it could even be measured

Does the dash not tell you the suspension has dropped when you go above 100 mph?
