Air Suspension Testing
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2020 Jaguar XE and 2019 Jaguar XE. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
- Make sure that the vehicle is clear of people and obstacles before adjusting the suspension.
- To maintain control of the vehicle at a standstill, during suspension height adjustment, make sure that the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) is applied. Also make sure that the transmission is engaged in Neutral (N) or Park (P).
NOTE:
- Suspension adjustment slows and stops, if there is not sufficient air reserves in the electronic air suspension system. In this event, start the engine to allow operation of the compressor. Run the engine until sufficient air reserves resume.
- Normal operation of the compressor generates heat. In the event of overheating, switch off the engine and allow time for the compressor to cool.
- The electronic air suspension system may raise or lower the vehicle automatically. For example, if a terrain response driving program requires it or if the vehicle is travelling at high speeds.
Functional checks of the air suspension system must be performed with all doors closed:
- Up button: Press and release to raise the suspension height. Off-road height indicator lamp: Illuminates when the suspension is set to off-road height.
- Down button: Press and release to lower the suspension height. Normal height indicator lamp: Illuminates when the suspension is set to normal height.
- Access height button: Press to set the suspension to access height. Access height indicator lamp: Illuminates when the suspension is set to access height.
The electronic air suspension system may raise or lower the vehicle automatically. For example, if a terrain response driving program requires it or if the vehicle is traveling at high speeds.
