Preparation of Vehicles

MODEL

New Range Rover Range Rover Classic with Air-Suspension

DETAIL

Vehicles equipped with EAS will, as a normal function, periodically level when parked unattended. Before any service or repair is undertaken on vehicles with air suspension, requiring access to the underside or wheelarches, the vehicle should be allowed to relevel by opening and closing any of the side doors, whilst all other doors and tailgate remain closed, and the ignition switched off. The underside of air suspension vehicles should remain clear of any obstacles / debris at all times whilst the vehicles are parked, as selfleveling may result in a reduced trim height.

New Range Rovers should be set in ‘high-lock’ using Testbook during any service work carried out which does not require chassis to axle displacement, this will hold the vehicle in extended position until reset by testbook, and prevent re-levelling.

ACTION REQUIRED

Please make all workshop tecniticians and staff aware of the above points.

PROCEDURE
