Jack Mode and tire replacement

[NV Ray]

Getting new tires soon for the first time since ownership of my P85. It has air suspension. Understand "jack mode" needs to be engaged (or does it?). Do you remind tire shop, do it yourself at tire shop, let them worry about it? Any other "reminders" to tire shop?

Most big name tire shops are aware of what is needed. I always sit in the car and drive it into the bay. I set the Jack mode and also remind the workers to use the pads on the jack points. They should have a set of pads. If they do not, I always carry a set in the car.

DO NOT TRUST THEM

• First put the car in standard height, as it might scrape the ramps on the hoist on low
• Either you, or ensure they, put it in jack mode: Yes, it needs to be in jack mode. see below.
• Ensure they are jacking it up on the jack points. I have 4 hockey pucks in the trunk for this reason, I rotate from summers to winters myself, and usually I just take the alloys in for new tire changes, but sometimes I have them do it if I feel comfortable with them
• And ensure they don't put the wheel on improperly: That is a quick non-star pattern with an air gun; this causes rotors to go out of true (warped) The best way of course is by hand, but what high volume shop does this? They don't care if your rotors get high spotted, and they know you can never prove it was them who caused it.
• You don't really have to take the car out of jack mode when done, it will cancel it automatically when you start driving
• And if you have a P car like mine, they might look in the door jamb and set the tire pressure to 40-42 psi, instead of 45 (if you removed the 21" wheels and put on the 19" ones.)

Hi, I've bought a Model X Raven (december 2019), I would like to change the tyres, but I can't see jack mode in the service menu. I see service mode instead, that is the same?

I've read ,that's why I'm asking Because I can't see this: "touch Controls > Service > Jack Mode to disable self-leveling." I see only Service mode in service tab.

We're all confused: Check out this video, at 1:39, does your touchscreen not look like this? Don't go to this new "service menu" everyone is posting about.
