How long does it take to raise the car?

So my question is, how long does it take for the car to raise back up after it has settled down while idling? Will it raise up after a couple of seconds? Minutes? Will it ever raise up just idling? Or do you have to press the buttons on the dash to raise it up?

About 1 second. It doesn't raise up while idling, you have to press the button to control whether to put it in the raised position or not.

if the car is idle , push the button ( Light on ) , it rises ... push it again , light off , it goes down .. thats it . The car never settles , unless left parked and not started for a long time .

That's what I was wondering because its parked for the winter and won't be started till spring. Now I know what to expect.

I don't know if either of them are constantly updated, but they are both updated quite frequently. Sorry I don't really know what you mean >.<

Caution. I once parked a car for a season and the engine turned to junk, all by itself.

Most valve blocks will slowly leak after a long time so when you come back to it you'll probably find it sunk. When you fire up the car again and press the up/down button a couple times, it should spring back up to life. Or you could just put it on jackstands (also saves the tires from getting flat spots). And don't forget to put Stabil in fuel and disconnect battery...
