D3 height at access height

Anyone know the "official" access height is as per the manual? Can't find my manual pack & searches just pull in max height.

Cheers

Sorry, 1.89m is my height. Embarassed

I just looked. It's 1.97m to top of open sunroof or telephone fin and 1.92m to top of roof, all in access mode. Thumbs Up

Some of the measurements include the phone aeriel for those cars that have it, adding I think 5 or 6cm.

I got mine under the 1.85m 'Flexiplus' height restriction at the Eurotunnel yesaterday 8) I remembered to lock access height before driving in. I forgot on the way out to France and got waved away into the steerage lane Sad

It certainly is very close getting onto the train Shocked but it will fit.

On a vehicle with a rear access ladder, the top of the ladder is the highest point.

We have a rear access ladder, but it's not the highest point of the car Laughing

I drive into a 1,80m carpark on a regular basis. Granted there may be a small margin but 1,89, I don't believe it. Must say I don't have roof rails, sunroofs or fin. The heights listed on the sun visor have a safety margin if you ask me.
