you hold the button until it bongs, then it should raise approx 40-5omm or 2" in old money

Bear in mind that for the suspension to pump up,you need to have the engine running and all doors and bonnet closed

No it doesn't. You can raise or lower the rear end in either high or low.

Off-road rear suspension raise works in BOTH hi and lo ratios.
All doors must be closed and the engine running to make it work.
If the suspension is in the raised position before you start off, it will automatically revert to it's normal height when a speed of 18 mph is reached.
The air suspension can be lowered for loading or hitching if you either have a proper control fob (expensive) or have David Pye's modification incorporated. (Search the forum for further details)

The air suspension has nothing to do with the Hill Decent Control.
