@1eapplebaum Good evening guys. The car will not go into jack mode. Should the car be running when I put it in jack mode? Because I got in the car closed the doors started the car and put it in jack mode holding the two buttons on each side of the wing button. Should I do it with the car off?
@1eapplebaum Ok I think it went into jack mode let me attach a pic. I went to the car switched on the ignition but didn’t start the car. Held those two buttons down and I think it went. It didn’t say jack mode but it did say this: Does this mean it’s in jackmode
Also the suspension height seems to be fine. It’s not sitting on the ground. I wish the car was able to drive a few yards to See what’s going on. When I turn the car on that workshop light doesn’t come on. It’s only when i hold those two buttons
The flat tire might cause the suspension to think that there is a fault.
I can't recommend jacking the car up out of Jack mode. This might be necessary otherwise the car has to be towed and put on a lift to change the tire. Always better safe than sorry.
@1eapplebaum Omg I hate to even move the car but if I have to do it then I will. Doesn’t it have to drive on the flat bed I’m so scared it’s gonna bend the rim. I wonder if I can get a air pump just to drive it to a shop. I still haven’t found out if the tire holds air because I dnt have a pump. It’s getting late but I just got home and it’s nagging my mind. I’m going to check autozone for a pump cause I’m scared to put it on a flat bed...idk if that makes sense. But the times it was just moved from the shops I was dying watching it go in the flat bed. Seems like I’m torturing the car when it’s being drug and hooked up to those hooks

Even if you put it on a 4 point lift it still needs to go into jack mode.
How long are you holding it down it go into jack mode? 1eapplebaumbaum is probably right. You might need to clear those faults before you can put it into jack mode.
Maybe since the tire is already flat, jack the car up to normal height, take the tire off, change it but put the new tire on without air in it ( hopefully the clearance is enough) and install the new one then put air in it. Just something I would do if I were in your shoes and didn’t want to put it on a flatbed.
Question...when did the tire get the slash in it? After the last drop off or before?
@1eapplebaum@TeamJones1962 I pumped the tire it held air. Drove it around the corner to the gas station put gas in. The p light with the line through it is still on the brake light or whatever makes a loud beeping noise. It’s very annoying. I smell oil burning and it shifts kind of when in gear not letting total power. Is this hesitation because of the brake? I need help. I tried to attach a video idk if it will upload. The park light and the traction light are on. I held the buttons down for like 10 seconds maybe for it to go into jack mode. I thought if I drove it the lights would clear.when the mechanic comes I have to ask him to release the brake manually I guess through the tire or whatever he was saying before. Also check the oil. And the tire. Maybe the tire didn’t have a slash like I thought But a piece of the rubber is slightly hanging and the tire is bad bad like worn. How long should I hold the buttons for it to go into jack mode?
The emergency brake is still grabbing. You're not smelling burnt oil your smelling burnt brake pad.
Take a deep breath and call a Bentley expert. Probably the dealer and have them get the car back on the road properly. Please don't drive the car. The expense you're facing at the moment going forward is less than permanently damaging an expensive component.
My concern all along was the parking brake. The process for figuring out what's going on is far more in depth then over the internet.
By the way the tire pressure monitoring service light might be on because there's a flat tire.

👍🏾 Sound advice. Just do one problem at a time. Get the brake first then work on what’s important next. Unless you have deep pockets to get it all done at once 😁
