Just tried mine and from Off Road height, I cannot invoke the extended mode using the height selector. Tried High and Low range, Park and Neutral, footbrake on and off. Discovery 4 HSE

Seems almost as backward as the 2006/7 RR's losing the Highway mode at 60mph, now its a high speed mode that kicks in at over 100mph or something? I'm flaky on the details of the newer models (I dont want to do the research or I'll want one) |

They did the same with the Sport, I couldn't understand why I'd have to drive up to 100mph for the increased stability, they MADE me break the law! Discovery 4 HSE

Considering that would be illegal for everyone in every country except the Germanians in Germania, makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking of.

Speaking of which…. Have you seen the active roll mitigation on the New RR – I’d love that. I always thought the ACE (active cornering enhancement) was great on the Disco and always wondered why they never incorporated it into the Range Rover!

This is what Off Road height looks like, doesn't look that high really?

I've found that if I hit the door button to drop to access height while moving and then drive up a shallow curb or even onto the drive before it fully lowers (ie. left hand LED flashing on height console), it sometimes decides I've grounded out and raises to extended (above Off road level).

Larry, that's exactly the same circumstances that made mine go into extended mode a couple of times. I might try and see if I can invoke it again so I can then select super extended mode, then of course, take plenty of pictures! Discovery 4 HSE

I'm of the opinion that mine is just down to lack of use. In the last week, I've been lowering and raising it at every opportunity and it's much faster now. Raises to normal height before I reach the end of the street now, which is approx half the time it used to take 2010 MY Vogue SE TDV8 3.6 Stornoway Grey- fully loaded |

This is interesting, when I did the LR experience, the instructor did explained to me that it was basically when the vehicle senses grounding, it'll automatically raises another 35mm... |

I've resurrected this thread, as i was looking for info on "Extended mode". Just wondering what it displayed on the dash when you went into extended mode ? |
