What’s parking up ?
Is there ‘parking down’ ?

I thought that might be me who said that, it was! Its just a saying, you must have heard it?

Though actually I had let the suspension down, so it was parked down while it was parked up!

is this true? i would have thought it would pump it up when last parked up low.
it's annoying to me that im not in control and that the car decides to pump as soon as a door is open, as i don't necessarily start up the car every time i jump in.
having said that, i had a bad habit of not remembering to let the car rise before i set off when i had a CX...

If the car is parked and the low height is selected before parking then the car will not pump up when you unlock or open the door.

Its not a matter of the car taking over or your not having control, you didnt have control in a CX, it did it when started ...

Unless the battery is very weak it wont effect the car at all. I actually like the electric pump and the benefits it brings, no need to wait an age before driving away etc.

I have never had any difficulty in replace/removing or refitting a C5s battery. I have done it a fair few times and not had any resulting problems.
