2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport Suspension Owners Manual

Access height may be selected until 1 minute after the ignition is switched off, or a few seconds after the driver’s door is opened. Access height selection can be requested at any vehicle speed. The suspension height does not change until the vehicle is traveling at slow speeds. The access height selection request cancels if the vehicle’s speed does not slow sufficiently within 1 minute. Normal driving automatically adjusts the suspension height setting from access height to normal height. To manually select the normal height setting from the access height setting, press the up button (1).

AUTO ACCESS HEIGHT

Auto access height automatically lowers the electronic air suspension to the access height setting, when the vehicle is parked. See ACCESS HEIGHT.

Select the Vehicle settings and Convenience features instrument panel menus to enable or disable the auto access height feature. See INSTRUMENT PANEL MENU.

Auto access height only operates if:

• The suspension height is currently set at normal height. See ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION CONTROLS.
• The transfer case is engaged in a high range. See SELECTING HIGH AND LOW RANGE.
• One of the following terrain response driving programs is selected:

  AUTO.

  Comfort.

  Dynamic.

  Grass gravel snow.

  Configurable dynamics.

See TERRAIN RESPONSE OPERATION.

Auto access height initially lowers the suspension height up to 0.9 in. (20 mm) below the normal height setting, after any of the following events:

• The ignition is switched off.
• An occupied seat belt is unbuckled.
  NOTES

  If the second-row outer seat belts are buckled, then unbuckling the center seat belt does not initiate a suspension height change.

  NOTES

  Unbuckling a third-row seat belt does not initiate a suspension height change.

If a door is opened, after the initial suspension lowering, auto access height lowers the suspension to 2 in (50 mm) below the normal height setting.

Auto access height lowers the suspension height to 1.6 in. (40 mm) below the normal height setting, if a door is opened before any of the following events:

• The ignition is switched off.
• An occupied seat belt is unbuckled.

To lower the vehicle to the full access height setting, press the down button (2). The full access height setting is 2 in (50 mm) below the normal height setting.

Auto access height can be activated until 90 seconds after the vehicle becomes stationary.

Auto access height only operates once each time the vehicle is stationary.

Auto access height does not operate in the following conditions:

• If the vehicle is parked on excessive inclines or declines, or on a very uneven surface.
• If there are insufficient air reserves in the electronic air suspension system. In this event, the instrument panel displays a temporarily unavailable message when a door is next opened.

LOCKED ACCESS HEIGHT

Locked access height is useful when maneuvering the vehicle in confined areas, e.g., multi-level parking lots.

To lock the vehicle in access height:

1. Make sure that the vehicle is in access height. See ACCESS HEIGHT.
2. Make sure that the vehicle is traveling at less than 22 mph (35 km/h).
3. Press the down button (2) on the center console for longer than 1 second. See ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION CONTROLS.

The locked access height indicator lamp illuminates and the instrument panel displays a confirmation message. To manually cancel the locked access height, press the up button (1) for longer than 1 second. Alternatively, increase the vehicle’s speed above 25 mph (40 km/h). The suspension returns to the normal height setting.

REAR HEIGHT ADJUST

Operate as follows:

1. Press and hold to raise the rear suspension.
2. Press and hold to lower the rear suspension.
3. Simultaneously press and hold both buttons to set the rear suspension to the normal height setting.

Operate as follows:

• To lower: Simultaneously press and hold the headlights button (1) and the tailgate unlock button (2).
• To raise: Simultaneously press and hold the headlights button (1) and the unlock button (3).
• To set the vehicle to normal height: Simultaneously press and hold the headlights button (1) and the lock button (4).

The indicator lamps, on the electronic air suspension controls, indicate the current status of the rear suspension, after adjustment. If the rear suspension is currently above normal height, both the normal height and off-road height indicator lamps illuminate. If the rear suspension is currently below normal height, both the normal height and access height indicator lamps illuminate. See ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION CONTROLS.

ADAPTIVE DYNAMICS

Adaptive dynamics continuously monitors the current road conditions and driving style and automatically adjusts the vehicle’s suspension settings accordingly. Adaptive dynamics also detect rough road and off-road conditions and adjust the suspension settings for greater ride comfort. If an adaptive dynamics system fault is detected, the instrument panel displays a message and may also illuminate the general or critical warning lamps. See CRITICAL WARNING MESSAGE (RED) and GENERAL WARNING AND INFORMATION MESSAGE (AMBER). In the event of a detected adaptive dynamics system fault, some reduction in ride comfort may be experienced. The fault may be temporary, but if the fault persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
