Silly height Question!

Hi. I have just bought a disco 3 and have never driven one before and never had a car you can alter the height on. What is the correct setting for normal road driving. Should it be high or low? Sorry I know this is a silly question!!
Thank you

3 heights.

Normal (road)
Off road
Access (getting in and out of the car)

Lo and Hi are gearbox settings and you want Hi for road which is the default.


It will default to the correct settings.

And if your suspension height is wrong, it will correct it for you once you get above a certain speed. 15MPH ish ?

if you are in access level once you start moving the car will automatically select normal ride height. if you are in "off road" mode the car will bong and warn you to "slow down or vehicle will lower". Either way the car needs to be in normal height setting (the second one down with the line) for everyday use Thumbs Up
