Default OFF-ROAD height

My understanding is that there are 4 selectable heights to the EAS: entry, normal, off 1, and off 2 per the manual.
Entry: -1.6" (under normal)
Normal: 0
OR 1: +1.6 (over normal)
OR 2: +3 (over normal)

Mine jumps from Normal to OR 2 - calling OR1. On the dimension page in the ICTP it goes from 8" to 11". There is no inbetween.

What am I missing?

Looking to possibly getting the Johnson Rods lift and trying to judge where it will land from where I want it to be.

Would love to get some better answers on this as well. I only notice one offload height when I test it. I have read and seen YouTube videos where they claim the second OR height setting only becomes available if the D5 senses it is hung up.

When I measured, access height was about 1.25" below normal height.
Offroad height was 2.25" higher than normal in the front and 2.5" higher the back.

I measured from garage floor to highest point on the fenders.

I have a LLAMS kit I still need to install and calibrate. Wanted a complete electronic lift, as it is my wife's daily and didn't want the normal height to be higher.

On the LR3 if I set it to off road height it would go to one height. If you then jacked up a corner to simulate getting hung up, it would raise itself even higher. I suspect the D5 will work the same way. Try it in your garage.

Did you ever find an answer to this? I'm experiencing the same thing.

I was wondering the same thing the other day. Manual says there are 2 off road settings but my new to me 2017 only seems to have one. Maybe off road 2 is automatically selected.
