Default Air Suspension

Hi

I was wondering if anyone knows whether the Air Suspension indicator should switch to "lo" when youre going 62mph or higher. The manual says that it automatically goes to "lo" at that speed but my light indcator never changes from the "N" position.

Thanks

The light does not change. It must be linked to the switch, not the shocks. Skip

According to the manual, if the air suspension is in N, driving over 62mph lowers the car 0.3 inches to improve aerodynamics.

L mode is 0.6 inches lower than N. Putting it in L will then make the car another 0.3 inches lower if you're already going over 62mph. Plus, in L mode, I believe that the suspension also firms up to improve handling. My kids can tell when I am in L, because they always complain the ride is stiffer.

Question

anyone know if it is possible to program the air suspension stay at easy access mode ie 1.2" below normal while the car is in motion?
