Question regarding air suspension

Hi guys,

When you raise the Panamera ride height using the air suspension, does it stay at that height if you turn off the car and restart, or does it default back to a lower setting? Just wondering if it's possible to use the higher ride height to clear some of those tall parking blocks. Obviously if the car settles back down when off or if it lowers itself upon restart, that would be a problem.

Thanks.

DOnt have my car at the moment, but it probably stays up, but after extended periods it may drop. However, have noticed that my car adjusts its position after parking, so I suspect there is a small risk it adjusts itself into contact with curb if you park tightly.

It drop on comfort setting the longer you leave it off. It stays up if you leave it on the high setting. I always leave mine on high when I park to clear the automatic car lift system.

Drops on comfort - left work the few first days I had the car and noted the nose on the (thank God low) curb. Since then pack with clearance to the curb at work. In sport plus I just hear it hiss after a while when I have parked it in the garage and hung out close by with the garage door open, but I do not see a very noticeable drop. Have never parked on high, unaware of what the outcome will be
