Auto Tire Shop Service Advice - Precautions
 

I recently was told by a "mechanic" that certain procedures must be followed when having tires changed on a Land Rover with air suspension by means of a lift at an Auto Tire Shop (i.e. all four wheels off the ground). That if the proper precautions are not taken, the vehicle (when turned off) will be self-seeking to adjust the suspension (while on the rack) as well as the passenger restraint airbags could actually be deployed, That's scary!

I did denote that in the Owner's Manual LR recommends that the air suspension be set to off-road height when changing a (single) tire using the vehicle's supplied jack but take that as an added safety feature that makes it easier to remove/install the tire.

So what's the deal? If I take my LR4 in for a all-4-wheel tire change or even a rotation, are there steps that need to be taken to avoid the suspension from self-seeking or worse a possible air-bag deployment?

Thanks to those who contribute.

What he said. Mine has been on the lift many times with all four tires off the ground.

Thanks for the feedback gents, it's done, new rubber on the road
