I heard somewhere that you can program the third button on the keyfob to do different things. Mine currently opens the rear tailgate glass.

A few questions:

1: Can it be programmed?
2: If so then how?
3: What can it do, i.e. what are all the options

I'd also heard you can adjust the suspension height via the keyfob under some circumstances, is this the case?

I tried searching for other threads on this but came up blank.

All in the manual but if you get stuck let me know. It can be set to:

1. Panic Alarm
2. Open upper tailgate.
3. Open full tailgate.
4. Activate Headlights. (IMO the most useful of the 5)
5. Raise and Lower Suspension.

Regards,

James

IIRC it is as follows,

You hold the keyfob button when executing the function, i.e. open the full tailgate with 'button 3' depressed. Release and let go - press button 3 and the tailgate will open.

I think the list of things you can get it to do are limited.

I don't think you can lower suspension from it - something to do with hazard lights needing to be on.

Typing at the same time !!

Excellent thanks, yes I wanted to set it to turn the headlights on.

I will RTFM, first time for everthing. Actually the second time James, I read the manual before I jacked my car up last time...............................

Hmmm and look where that ended up! (not your fault)

1. Lights - Hold the button then pull the indicator stalk to flash the lights.
2 & 3. Boot - Hold the button then open either the upper or lower boot.
4. Panic - Hold the button then press the hazzard light button.
5. Suspension - Hold the button then press the suspension button.

In all instances hold both buttons down at the same time, you should here a ping when it's set. It will activate the last stored feature when you set it...... i.e. If it's currently set to the boot and you then change it to the headlights then as you set it the boot will open, however it will only happen the once.

The suspension feature is slightly more complicated. Once you have assigned the button you will need to have the hazzard lights on (a safety feature), all apatures closed, then hold the LR button and at the same time press Lock to go up and unlock to go down (or other way around).

The headlight setting is by far the most useful IMO as you can set the headlamp delay to max and then press the button to switch them off when you get to the front door (depending on hol long your pathway is).

It is quite interesting to try them all out anyway.

Thanks James, very helpful, will give it a go tonight

Will stop my wife telling me off for leaving the lights on in the garage every day!

How ridiculous! Why doesn'y it just set the hazard lights going as it lowers!

I understand that it is a safety feature so that there is no way that you can accidentally change the suspension height. For instance, if you sat on the key in your pocket and it activated the suspension, then there could be all sorts of consiquences. I think the reasoning behind it is that you have to make a concious decision to activate the hazzards before it will work.

What about programming the mirrors to fold in once you lock the car? Is this a DIY thing or will the dealer need to do it?

Thanks!

Sadly it can't be done on the RRS....

So having turned the lights on with the button, will they automatically turn off without pressing the button again  TDV6 - gone
