I suppose this would vary, depending on temperature, how long last driven, etc, etc, etc... Anyway, I just recovered from my Rangie having a heart attack and then dropping down to the bump stops displaying the dreaded "Slow 55km" display on the message panel with the obnoxious orange picture of my vehicle balanced on an arrow head. Prior to the drama I noticed that it seemed to take longer and longer to auto-adjust at start-up to the correct drive mode and the light on the adjuster panel seemed to be having a party with itself, sometimes taking 5 minutes of driving before it settled. When I drove to my service dealer on the bump stops (a bit like driving one of those clown cars with square wheels in the cartoons) I just prayed they could sort it out for me as I've read in these forums that they need the plug-in thingy to reset the error. Anyway, they did fix it, they reported that it seemed to be a valve or something that was dirty on the front right. They apparently cleaned it, reset the computer and all was hunky-dory, with the flashing adjusting lights flashing and taking around 30 seconds to adjust to drive level from start-up. Me was very happy `)
Ok... This morning ('twas a cold one), I started up and the adjusting lights started a-flashing. No problem, I thought... and drove off continuously checking the ominous flashing with worried concern that I'd soon be in the same boat as last time. However, fortunately it finally settled on the normal road drive mode and I let out a sigh of relief... Question is, is this normal? Was it because it was cold and is there anything I can do to make it adjust quicker? My repair garage said they checked for leaks and they couldn't find any, also, it always seems to happily retain it's height when I park it over night, or even when I don't drive it for up to a week, so I'm guessing there isn't a leak anywhere. If after the auto-height lights flash for to long, is this when the nasty orange light with bump stop error occurs? Can I just pull-over to the side of the road after a minute or two of the height adjusting light flashing then restart the car hopefully resetting the computer timer for chucking up the error message? I'd be interested to hear what everyone else does and/or what your experiences are with this EAS situation. 'Twas nice to see the correct adjustment height settle while I drove down my driveway, and, it would be nice if this was a common occurrence
