Is there a way to make the car always go to access mode when it is parked and the ignition is off? My handbook tells me that I can control the Air Suspension from the remote (Mrs BKHK would like it to have easier access) but to be honest, either I am being thick or it doesn't work.

Can anyone help?

No, there's no way.
You could manually press the switch to lower the car are you are about to stop and it will very quickly go to Access mode when you're stopped. And it will stay that way. This will help Mrs BKHK to get out and get in again. Malaysia Boleh!

Hmmmm....my handbook tells me I can control the suspension from the remote?? The other functions are panic alarm and headlight delay.

When I pressed the suspension lower button at the same time as the Land Rover Button, the car beeped as it said in the handbook. The thing is, the remote seems to do nothing for the suspension.

Now, that particular key emote used to unlock the boot, now it doesn't because I tried to make it work the suspension. If I can't work the suspension from this remote for access mode, how do I make that particular remote unlock the boot again??

I hope I haven't stuffed anything up.....

Advice needed!!

In the older models one could raise/lower the suspension via the remote in order to hitch a trailer... .
Not sure how this works in the newer models though. Malaysia Boleh!

Tastech it doesn't work on my 2008MY Tdv8. When you press the button to lower keep the button pressed until you hear the warning bong and then it will be locked in access mode until you unlock it again. This is for use in carparks with low ceilings. It you lock it down you MUST unlock it again when you drive off by holding the switch until you get the warning gong again and the message on the info screen. A Carbon Footprint is the mark a lump of coal makes when it's dropped on the ground.

Also think that you have to have the hazzard lights on too before the suspension will move. Sons of dogs come eat flesh

mmm...i dont remember having to do that...but i think you had to have both keys/remotes programmed to the function...i think...

i know i remember reading for the lazy access to work all the remotes had to be set to lazy access mode...

I have lazy entry set to on but the seats only slide to your set possition

You guys are probably right about the hazard lights, it does say that in the handbook. I thought it was just some meaningless Health and Safety thing but maybe not. The thing is, it all seems a bit inconvenient to have to open the door, switch on the hazard lights, close the door and then adjust the suspension using the remote. While I have the door open, its easier just to hit the suspension switch...or am I missing something?

So, how do I now make my remote go back to the boot release function it had originally? I should stop stuffing around with things!!
