To save me looking at the manual where do u switch it off?
I believe it’s press and hold the air button for 10 seconds. There’s a lot of things on a Porsche which are “press and hold” 😂
Are you thinking of the accelerator? Bloody hooligan! :lol: :lol:

Was at the OPC last week, a row of gen 2’s with a gen 3 GTS sat in the middle of them which was obviously in the low setting, it looked really low compared to the others. I did wonder if the OPC had done it on purpose.

It was that papaya one. Did you notice how much lower it was sitting compared to the others?

Never really noticed but I liked the colour, I was to busy thinking about a “free” coffee, 😂

Glad it stays where you left it. I'm sure I've seen some vehicles adjusting themselves when ignition goes off (Range Rover maybe?) - and i was hoping the Porsche didn't do this. 👍👍
A Range Rover on air can have the setting to go even lower when parked and engine off to make it easier to get in and out

It normally stays where it was when you switched off.

But

It does rely on Porsche programming, so glitches occur.

I leave mine on Low but a couple of weeks ago it had resorted to Normal all by itself.

Air does level itself when parked so be prepared for a few hisses and whooshes as it does so, sorry to get technical.
