Vehicle Transportation

VEHICLE TRANSPORTATION

New vehicles are transported from the factory with the EAS system electronically 'frozen' in access mode. When road speed exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph), the vehicle will rise to low ride height. It will return to access mode it speed falls below 38.4 km/h (24 mph). This condition is cancelled at pre-delivery inspection, by entering the appropriate command via Testbook.

Vehicle Transportation/recovery

CAUTION: When an air suspension vehicle is secured to a transporter using the chassis lashing eyes, there is a possibility due to air leakage, self levelling or operation of ride height controls that the tension of the securing straps will be lost. To prevent this the ride height should be set to access mode before securing to transporter.

If the engine cannot be run and the vehicle is not in access mode, the vehicle can be transported, but it must be secured to the transporter by the roadwheels, not the chassis.
