Correct Procedure?

[Pete]

This evening my Self Level Inactive warning came on and I used the following procedure:

1. Didn't panic
2. Totally Ignored warning
3. Carried on driving
4. Switched Ignition on/off
5.Carried on as if nothing happened.

On a serious note though, to the best of my knowledge there isn't even self level suspension on the car so I took it that it was just a quirk of the system due to the freezing temperatures where I live. The warning cleared itself after I turned the car on/off and I'm not thinking of getting it looked into further - is this the right thing to do?

On another topic, that seatbelt alarm that sounds when you place a bag on the passenger seat is an absolute pain in the backside - is there any way to overide it? It's a valid alarm if you had a passenger sitting there without a belt on but very shortsighted to think that people wouldn't just leave a bag on there

Thanks,
Pete

all x5's bar the very very early y plate cars have rear self levelling suspension via an air compressor and air bags, if you look you can see the little feebback arm similar to that of a control valve positioner etc!! so you do have self level suspension but not the fully adjustable air suspension which is the optional extra. hope this helps.

Oooops, that's right - it doesn't have adjustable suspension.

I do remember reading that this warning pops up occasionally though on various people's cars, so it's not always a cause for concern... I'll just keep an eye on it for now.
The car didn't seem to ride/sit any differently though so hopefully it is just down to the cold.

As per the buckle idea, I might have to go down that route - can't believe that there's no overide on it and it constantly goes off

had it happen to mine a few times after parking over night with two wheels up the kerb and two wheels not. After a swith off and swith back on all levelled up and was fine.
