Warnings and limitations to the "Lifter" and “Lifter-free” functions
●
The “original” Land Rover vehicle height control by the lever (D3) or buttons (D4) on the
center console remains unchanged after XLifter installation.
●
The selected XLifter lift value is always added or subtracted to the “original” selected Land
Rover height.
For example, when setting the “original” Off Road height (+55 mm) and "One Inch Lift" on the
XLifter (+25 mm), the resulting increase of vehicle height will be +80 mm.
●
XLifter is primarily designed to operate when the selected “original” vehicle height is
"Standard". Of course, XLifter can also be used in the "original" height Off Road or Access,
with the following limitations:
In the “original” Off Road height, it is not recommended to lift the vehicle with XLifter by
more than +25 mm permanently. The „Sky Rocket“ (+75 mm) program is not available.
In the “original” Access height, it is not recommended to drop the vehicle more than -30
mm. The „Super drop“ (-35 mm) program is not available.
Selecting higher lift or drop with the XLifter, then noted above, in “original” heights Off Road
or Access, is likely to lead to the “yellow” suspension failure messages on the vehicle display.
You can reliably dismiss these faults by setting XLifter to "Disengaged" (+0 mm) and
restarting the engine.
●
As a safety measure, in the range of 3 cm from the extremities (wheel fully articulated up or
down), the XLifter does not affect the vehicle height (sensor voltages)!
Warning:
when in extreme lifts - “Sky Rocket” (+75 mm) or any lift program while the
“original” vehicle height is Off Road, please be gentle with the accelerator pedal in case, when
you have low-range engaged and you are steering hard to the left or right. The driveshafts to
CV joints angle is very high and CV joints can be under lot of stress.
●
Be gentle to the vehicle compressor! The compressor will overheat if the vehicle is
lowered/raised several times in a row. A "Suspension raising slowly" message may appear on
the vehicle display, or a "yellow" "Suspension failure" error may appear. Diagnostic fault would
reveal the compressor overheating. When overheated, the Land Rover EAS unit inhibits
further operation until cooled (approx. 10 minutes). When cooled, the error will disappear
when the engine is restarted.
●
The “original” vehicle height indicator is software based - it compares the average vehicle
height with calibrated height in a real-time. In some rare cases, the “original” height may be
detected with a delay or incorrectly. This is not a malfunction; the indicator role is mainly
informative.
●
If the ignition is switched on and the EAS unit cannot communicate with the control
module for more than 5 minutes, the +0 mm "Disengaged" program will be set
automatically.
This is a safety measure for the event of the control module malfunction (theft,
damage, disconnection).
Warning:
The Land Rover original EAS unit drops the height by 20 mm when
vehicle speed exceeds 160 Km/h.
Do not use the XLifter while driving in traffic
and do not lower the height at high speeds!
