How to Activate the Lift Mode on Audi A8 Air Suspension?
2 Answers
Press the CAR button on the MMI control panel, then press the SETUP button, and the option to enable or disable the lift mode will appear. You can select the "Lift" mode when the speed does not exceed 80 km/h.
I remember last time helping my friend with his Audi A8, activating the lift mode was actually quite simple. First, make sure the car is completely stopped and turned off, the key point is not to engage the handbrake! Then immediately press and hold the button on the center console with the car logo lifting up, hold it for about 5 seconds until you hear the suspension releasing air—that's when you know it's right. This mode raises the chassis to its highest position, mainly used for changing tires or driving on rough roads. However, be careful not to drive fast, as it automatically deactivates when exceeding 35 km/h. Before driving off, don't forget to press and hold the button to exit the mode, otherwise driving with the chassis suspended can easily damage components. I think using the mechanical key to open the trunk might also activate emergency lift mode.
