Raising the car while moving
Hey guys,
I always have this habit, that when Im entering the garage, I need to raise the car (there is a steep entrance). So I always stop the car and push the raise option. So I was wondering if You need to stand still when raising, or You can just hit the button while approaching? Is it better for the car when its stopped or it does not matter?
thanks

My only concern is doing this raising and lowering manually on a daily basis, several times a day - like everything else, its going to shorten the life of the air pump &/or Air suspension system as a whole.

ncie, I havent noticed that the "raise" is grayed out while moving faster. thanks for the info. 
another question came to my mind:
do You need to lower the car after You are in the garage? cause Im always thinking that I dont want to have the car raised the whole night and the suspension under pressure for any longer, but then I start thinking that You always hear that "snort" sound once You turn of the engine - this is probably the suspension, getting rid of the pressure, right?

Yeah, really love the adaptive air suspension. Rides great too. Only wish our N. American A7 has this option.
