Exiting the levelling function:
1.
Press
button to access levelling exit menu.
2.
Use
buttons to select the “
Exit to drive
”, confirm your selection
with
. XLifter will return to the previously selected lift program and
vehicle will de-level (when engine is started).
Warning and limitations to the levelling function:
●
To use whole wheel articulation and maximize the level-able tilt, please start the
levelling while car “original” height is normal. XLifter notifies you with the advice
message if car is in Access or Off-road height.
Watch the compressor temperature levels. Never start levelling when the
temperature is critical.
Let the compressor cool down before levelling!
Levelling is an experimental feature that uses capabilities of the air suspension to its
maximum. Expect “yellow” suspension faults when levelling from extreme tilts (near
or above limits). If such a fault occurs and vehicle is already levelled reasonably, turn
off the engine. No reason to deal with it at this point. Exiting the levelling and
starting the engine will dismiss these faults reliably.
●
Due to the limitations of the air suspension system, do not expect levelling to end
with a precision to tenths of degrees. The accuracy of 0.5˚ degrees can be
considered satisfactory. You can always - even repeatedly - use the fine-tune
function.
●
The engine must be running during the levelling, otherwise the engine compressor
does not work, and vehicle will not raise.
Warning
: Close all doors before starting the levelling function to prevent possible
door damage due to contact with surrounding ground. The Land Rover EAS unit
may also prevent the levelling when doors are open. The “kick trick” also wouldn’t
work.
●
Do not use electronic park brake (EPB) during levelling. It will cause unnecessary
tension in the brake cables, which will counteract wheel movement. You may use
the “P” gear instead in the automatic gearbox vehicles. Or if necessary – vehicle is
probably on same slope – stay on the brake pedal during levelling but release it
momentarily once per ~10 seconds to release tension cause by wheel movement.
The “kick trick”:
levelling cycle takes 80 seconds. For a small height change
(especially in fine-tuning), the Air suspension reacts with significant delay. To force
the air suspension to react immediately change the “original” height by
lever/buttons at the centre console to the Off-road, followed quickly - as soon as
vehicle start to raise - changing it back to normal.
Warning: NEVER EVER start the levelling function while driving!!!
The wheels
height will be set differently, which results to potentially dangerous situation.
NEVER leave the camping place without exiting the levelling function fist!
Tip:
Levelling is a feature designed to level the vehicle to a calibrated position for
sleeping when camping. If you prefer to sleep with your head slightly up/down, just
calibrate the XLifter in a position comfortable to you.
Tip:
The rear axle has a larger wheel travel than the front one. The rear of the car
can lift more than the front. If you position the vehicle uphill instead of downhill, the
maximum alignment angle will be slightly higher - the levelling will lift the rear and
lower the front.
