How to Activate the Porsche Air Suspension Lift Mode?
2 Answers
First, start the vehicle using the ignition switch on the left side of the steering wheel; otherwise, adjustments cannot be made. Then, press the button on the right side of the steering wheel to activate the lift mode. The primary step is to start the engine. Press the button with a shock absorber symbol next to the gearshift lever to enable the lift mode.
Activating the air suspension lift mode on a Porsche is super easy! I've tried it a few times, like on a friend's Cayenne. Just start the car normally without driving too fast, then navigate to the vehicle settings menu in the central touchscreen. Scroll to the suspension section where you'll find a button labeled "Lift Mode" or similar – tap it and the car automatically raises the body, increasing ground clearance by about 2-3 cm. It's perfect for tackling potholes, steep slopes, or underground parking ramps. The whole process takes just seconds and is incredibly convenient. But I must remind you to only use it at low speeds, preferably below 40 km/h, as activating it at high speeds is unsafe and could damage the suspension. Porsche's thoughtful design really minimizes daily driving worries about scraping the undercarriage. I recommend owners make it a habit to check and maintain proper lubrication in the suspension system.
