Standard Air Suspension

Hi

Does "Raise" in the pic below confirm a standard air sprung, non-DRC car?

Thanks

What happens when you press raise? My air suspension lifts the car

I wouldn’t know as don’t own an RS6, yet but thanks for the confirmation.

Helps when trying to confirm dealer ad spec to actual physical spec.

I don't have that option on my DRC car so I'd assume yes

Not conclusive, but I have air on my C7 PE and have a screen like that - raises or lowers by about an inch.

Thanks all.

One other thing... if a car has DRC how can I confirm if it is a stand alone option or part of the dynamic pack? Are there any visual clues (via MMI maybe)?

On cars with air suspension, it actually refers to Air Suspension in the 'Individual' settings in the drive select. On DRC cars it doesn't say Air I think it just refers to Suspension in Individual. This way you can tell from the MMI what suspension the car has. However, looking under the arches will also tell you if it's on Air. Anyone got any pics to show the difference?
