Random suspension lowering when parked/locking doors.

I've noticed sometimes after driving and parking that my Range will drop the suspension like an inch or so in the front after locking the doors. Sometimes this happens....other times is just stays put. Why is this? What makes the suspension want to raise (while driving) and then lower when parked sometimes and other times not? 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

When you are driving it is difficult for the FF to decide what is or isn't standard height, bends, pot holes, camber etc means that the system has to "guess" where it should be, when you stop and switch off it resets and goes to normal height (unless you pressed access) it will only do this with the doors shut so you see it do it after you get out...

Quite normal... Pete

Ah ok...makes sense I guess. Was odd since my commute is mostly the same everyday and sometime it does it and others not. Just a quirky thing with the suspension....but man do I love the air ride comfort...so I'll put up with the quirkyness Smile 2014 FF Autobiography 5.0 SC

Self-levelling suspension.. Levels itself when car is at rest..

I've noticed mine do it occasionally when sat at traffic lights. First couple of times I wasn't sure it actually happened Confused then I panicked a little thinking something was wrong Big Cry then I realised what it was doing Thumbs Up

Presumably the level sensors have small steps in them. If you're on the cusp of one of the steps the suspension might move from one step to the other as occupants move about in the vehicle.

Hall effect sensor, totally linear, but the system has a + or - 9mm tolerance in standard mode...

That's why it's important when playing with an IID tool or similar to NOT put the car into tight tolerance mode... be up and down like a yo-yo.... Rolling Eyes
