Air suspension- automatic lowering

Anyone know if this is possible in order to ease exit and entry for the kids. Had a XC90 were this was a feature.


I know it can be done with the Display Key.

Can't be done. Have to manually lower it. I don't think you can even code it in the car.

It is easy to click the switch twice before getting off.

Can it be coded that the lowering isn't interrupted when doors are opened?

Just lower it when getting out with the kids... and lock. It then stays low so easy to get into when you get back in.

Mine interrupts the lowering process as soon as someone opens a door. It's only occasionally that it continues the lowering after all doors are closed. Getting everybody to stay put while waiting for it to lower is about as easy as herding cats...

Negative. For safety purposes, in case there is anything under the doors when opened, like a rock, log, high curb, etc, the doors could possibly be ripped off the hinges.
