Default well i had my allroad stuck in the snow good today(for itacud and others who want to know stuff)

the edl or traction control does not work from a stand still(only 2 tires spin,one front one back) and i tried the e-brake and the regular brake along w turning off esp and i couldn't get more then 2 tires to spin but also at no time did only one axle spin and i was hung up good. i wonder if you need all four tires spinning for the abs to work?(along with the traction control)

Default was snowblowing parents driveway, didn't realize i parked on a slope in the grass(snow covered) and

when i tried to pull out i slide into snow bank. one thing strange i noticed was that my car would drop from level 4 to level 2 when i was trying to rock my self out and had to raise it again. think i was high-centered, i let the car run for 1 hour and dug out around tires before i got out.

Default Re: Auto Lowering

while i was blasting out of my driveway i realized the same thing. I wasn't paying attention to my speedo, but i think because it's 4 wheel drive, the speedometer think's it's going 50 or 60 therefore dropping the height of the car.

Wheels spinning on ice/snow makes the speedo rise, and the level drop.

Default i never left 1st gear or reverse(manual) must have picked up enough momentum (in the tires spinning)

that the car thought i was going 50 mph? i think the right front tire has the speed sensor
