Car goes from Access Height to Normal without warning
When trundling around a multi-story carpark in "access mode" to keep nice and low I suddenly noticed my DIsco was driving at normal ride height. I'm sure that when I got the car in January, and drove in access height above a certain speed it would sound alarms and flash a warning before raising itsel to normal height. Has anyone else got similar experiences?
regards
Rob

You should really 'Lock'it into access height in car parks. Hold the switch back for a couple of seconds to lock it.
I think it should warn youif its going to raise, but I would not trust it.

I seem to remember that mine bings that annoying bing once and the message centre states that it will raise the suspension unless I slow down... and then does what it says.
I always lock mine in access height in car parks that need it, and then raise it again before I leave the car (if possible).
Its also heart-warming to hear the metallic clanking when turning tightly too... always a tell take sing that I'm in access height mode
