adjustable suspension on gl450

hello everyone and happy fathers day to all the dads here. i know if you have the suspension at the raised setting it automatically lowers at about 40 mph. i was wondering if there was a way to keep it at a raised mode no matter what your speed. no big deal, i just think the gl looks better when raised. i find myself trying to keep the mph down to under 40 just for the look. jeez i am weird.

I know how you feel; I love the car in raised mode, but I think that it lowers for safety reasons.

Has anyone figured out what the height-management algorithm actually is?

My '11 GL350 seems to raise and lower itself at really random times, like at stoplights and stuff.

I'm sure there rhyme & reason to it, would just like to know what it is.

Height Adjustable Suspension

The suspension raises and lowers itself to keep the car as aerodynamic as possible, thus improving fuel economy.
