Hi.
I use the Access Mode all the time. Mainly to enable the mutts to get in/out without getting virtigo.
I noticed this last weekend when I parked and walked to the back of the car it made a noise, something like low tone air brakes, hard to explain but sounded like something "settling" with the air suspension.
I have not noticed this before.
Is it normal?
Am I likely to do any harm to the suspension if I use this feature all the time?
Its got to be booked in for a serivce soon so if an issue will get it fixed. D4 HSE - Aintree Green

The car is meant to auto level and does it after a short while. I often find my settles when I'm filling it with fuel and it's a bit odd to find the car lowers while you're holding a fuel nozzle in it!
I think older models seem to settle more i.e. pre 07. but not sure that's true. D3 HSE MY05 Auto
