I came across theis review of the petrol Sports and it mentions auto access mode.

"The air suspension automatically lowers the suspension for entry/exits and at highway speeds".

Would that have been a feature for across the pond only??? Steve.

I believe it does it above 100 mph

Mine doesn`t.....I mean I wouldn`t have thought mine does  Steve.

I'm sure I read somewhere that the suspension lowers itself above 100mph,,, but only by 20mm,, not to access height 2010 RRS, TDV8

Ooooo, right  Steve.

yeah I don't think you would notice the change from behind the wheel.

Maybe have a passenger watch/film the center display and you may see it drop.

I would be interested to know at what speed it rises again

Thought you didn't like speed Steve

Exactly...that`s why I said I wouldn`t have thought so  Steve.

Anyway, I don`t dislike speed as long as I`m in something suitable....and obviously on a private road  Steve.

But of course

I’ll check mine at the weekend as I’m always doing above 100,,I’ll stick my camera out of the window when I get to 95 & take it to about 155,,,,,only because it’s limited to 155

I wasn't aware the RRS dropped suspension at speed. I had a FFRR (L322) and that dropped at motorway speed if you drove at over 62mph (100kmh) for longer than 5 or so minutes. I believe it was to improve stability at high speed.

Why bother doing it at 100mph? Wouldn`t 70 ish be more realistic?? Steve.

High Speed Mode
High speed mode is a non-selectable, automatic mode which lowers the vehicle height by 20mm to improve vehicle handling. This
feature is fully automated and is 'invisible' to the driver.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 100 mph (160 km/h) for more than five seconds, the air suspension control module initiates the high
speed mode. When the vehicle speed reduces to less than 80 mph (130 km/h) for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle returns to the
On-Road height. This function is cancelled if a trailer is connected to the trailer socket

2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed
