remote air suspension up/down..
I just learnt that you can raise/lower the rear suspension using the key fob (hold headlight and boot open button together to lower, headlights and unlock button to raise)... BUT you have to press the hazard warning light button on the dash before you do this - which is very weird and renders the feature almost pointless..!!?

you may as well open tailgate door and press the up down buttons on the pillar switch panel.

Didn’t realise they still had that feature, my Discos had it but never saw the need. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Thanks Moo - that does sound like a practical use and something where the hazards probably should be used.

as I said earlier in this thread

"you may as well open tailgate door and press the up down buttons on the pillar switch panel."

This is a 'No Feature' !!

It depends on what you’re doing and carrying. When my bikes are on the back of my spare wheel, this will be really useful when hitching up when I can’t open the rear door.

I can also lower it without staring the engine when I need access to the Roofrack, something I did this week when I was reversed up against a wall.

Anyway, horses for courses. Eiger Grey MY23 D250 SE with bits. Known as Noddy.

It's a good feature, but does seem daft to tie it in to having the hazards on. Takes the convenience out of it for when you just need to do it in a hurry.
