Hi All, just got my 06 on Sunday and there are no books in the car so I don't know exactly how the center (behind shifter) suspension button (on, 1 and 2 lights) works or what it does. Anyone care to explain please. Thank you!

There is a button with an arrow to lift the car. When depressed you will get the "vehicle raising" message in the instrument cluster. Great for going in and out of steep driveways and those nasty curb cuts. When you exceed a certain speed (don't recall what it is), the vehicle will lower itself.

The center button with the two LED's controls stiffness and ride height. The three settings are "Airmatic Comfort" (no LED's on) which is the softest, "Airmatic Sport 1" (1 LED on) which firms it up a bit and lowers it a hair, and "Airmatic Sport 2" (2 LED's on) which is the setting for maximum stiffness and lowering. Note that when you cycle through the modes, they will be displayed in the instrument cluster.

You two are awesome, thank you so much!

On the center button no lights is comfort mode and the "City" ride height , one light is a faster damper response so it stiffens up the ride over sharp bumps but leaves it cushy otherwise. two lights is fast damper response full time and lowered ride height.

The left button raises the car 1.5" over normal ride height to clear parking stones and speed bumps

Do you need to be driving (in motion) for this to work or will it work parked?

THe left button works while standing still or in motion, the center button works while in motion
