Does the Audi A8 require lift mode for tire replacement?

[VonLuke]

Yes. Function of lift mode: Lift mode is a setting that needs to be activated during vehicle maintenance when using a jack to raise the car. If not activated, it may cause damage to the car's air suspension system. Consequences of not activating: Air suspension damage. The transport/lift mode of the Audi A8's air suspension system is designed for when the vehicle is in these non-normal states. Without activating this mode, the air suspension may experience adjustment errors. Enabling transport/lift mode disables the automatic adjustment function of the air suspension to prevent frequent large adjustments that could disrupt the system.
