Chassis setting

[freinando]

This button has 3 settings, normal, sport , and sport plus. It also changes the ride height. I wish we could configure the height we want for each setting. Normal: normal. Sport: Lowered, Sport Plus: Low. Right now Normal and Sport Plus behave like that, but Sport sets the ride height to Normal which is a no go for me.

Check the settings in the PCM, mine does exactly what you want it to do.

In the PCM I can set the ride height independently. What I’m trying to do is avoid having to get into the PCM, just use this button all the time. Do you mean in the PCM I can configure the behavior I described once? If so, I’ll take a look.

To my understanding, one can set the ride height for the different setups in PCM. Once set, it remembers.
I had my ride height once set to "normal" everywhere, to avoid curbs.
The consenquence was, that the park-assistant stopped working.
It needs at least "low" to function. 🫠

Correct, this happened to me before where the car reset the normal setting which was low, back to normal. Went in there, made changes and voila!

I’ve tried this, no luck. I set the car in sport chassis setting either on the dash PASM button or in the PCM, and the height goes to Normal. Then I set the height to Lowered in the PCM to see if it sticks. Change the chassis setting to Normal goes to normal height, then to Sport, still Normal height. I don’t know how to make Sport chassis setting stick to the Lowered height. Am I missing anything?

I’m also not referring to the drive mode, I’m talking about the chassis setting (PASM button in the picture above).

Edit: My car behaves the same as described here (sport pasm leaves level as normal height)

2025 is completely different.

2025 allows you to configure each drive mode independently. But, does it allow you to decouple the chassis from the height? All I want is to be able to remain in Normal drive mode (no gear changes) while hitting that PASM button in the dash to stiffen the suspension along with changing the height depending on mood.

Chassis stiffness and Ride Height are different settings in the 2025... I assume that must be true of the J1.1.

For the J1.2, you cannot save changes to Normal however. You could optimize the other drive modes to be whatever stiffness and ride height you want, and save it.

Yes of course.

Think of J1.1 as having:
* Normal
* Sport
* Sport Plus
* Gravel (on CT)
* Individual (customizable)

And J1.2 as having:
* Normal
* Individual I
* Individual II
* Individual III

Essentially all the modes apart from Normal behave the same as individual mode on J1.1 did. They still have names like "sport" or "gravel", but it's just that - a name. You can configure them to be whatever you like and save them.

Ok so for my case example this would be achievable in J1.2 configuring Sport drive mode for instance to use Normal drive mode and the suspension settings I want, and, then I’d use the sport chrono dial to change between the 2 drive modes on the fly, yes?

In J1.1, doesn’t seem possible to decouple even when only using the chassis button, from a forum search I did. Sport chassis always goes to Normal ride height.

That's what I do for the J1.2 (Sport mode is set to Normal chassis and right height is low).

For the J1.1 you can do that with the individual mode... set that up, save it and spin the dial when you get in the car.

Yes and no. You have to go from Normal, to Sport, Sport Plus, then Individual. Meaning the drive mode is affected for a short span (downshift primarily) which is what I was trying to avoid here.

On my J1.1, I wanted to stiffen the shocks automatically when the suspension is set high for driving over speedbumps at below 20MPH.

Setting the suspension to automatically increase height works perfectly, unfortunately I did not find any way to add shock stiffness to the same setting.

Anyone here concerned about excessive inner tire wear if in the lowest settings all the time due to the camber changes? The car lowers itself over a certain highway speed but straight line wear is probably different. But hey, maybe the gas money saved = more tires!
