    EAS and Gearbox relationship???

    the other day I put the car in Neutral whilst sitting at some traffic lights and noticed the car raised itself up a bit. The vehicle was already in normal height and the indicator on the dash did not change but there was definite height adjustment going on. This does not happen unless I select Neutral.
    Can anyone explain what is going ?

    If the vehicle is in gear and/or the footbrake applied, the EAS won't alter its settings. However when you stop at traffic lights and let the vehicle just "sit" in neutral...without foot on brake or just touching it lightly, the EAS will make any minor adjustments needed: these could be due to the wheels sitting unevenly due to major road surface irregularities or more likely, minor compensations in height due to a (small) system leak somewhere ... it does not necessarily reflect on the height setting switch because the adjustment "needed" may be simply fine tuning within the range for a specific height.

    While driving between traffic light stops, press the button to lock the EAS in a particular range and see if it still changes at the lights as above. (This is a guaranteed strategy to ensure you encounter a string of "green" traffic lights)
    cheers

    Thanks Hoges,
    I had applied the handbrake so that accounts for the adjustments.
    Sounds like I need to pull out the soapy water bottle and go for a squirt. It needs a wash anyway.
