so does anyone know how to make the X STAY at the high or low setting until changed?


thanks fellas...
Not good news for you..... You will find that its about 50kph (unless they have changed it recently, mine is a 2005) before she will drop back to standard height, this is usually fast enough if you are in difficult terrain. The dealer can't change the speed perameters but can change the heights it sets to at the 3 options. (some will do it!!) You can buy a module to keep it at the selected height but I have decided not to. The air spring changes its spring rate with different heights and the shock absorber has fixed valving, and thus will not be matched to the height change (spring rate). This could be dangerous as it would change handling performance. Not forgetting slight changes in wheel alignment which could see an increase in tyre wear....

Been there and done that....
