| I have a Premier Edition as well and haven't noticed the behavior that you are describing. Mine does indeed raise the full 3 inches when I press the button and will drop back to normal when I press it again. When I hit 50 mph, the ride height settles back to low. The interesting thing is that if I travel at anything over 40 mph for an extended period, it will also settle back to low. I have not seen or noticed anything indicating a medium or middle position. It's either all the way up or all the way down. Also, whenever the suspension is altering ride height, the airmatic display in the center will tell you what is going on (raising or lowering) and the red light on the airmatic button will flash. I have never seen the car temporarily "settle" when parked. If your car is doing that, you may have an air leak. Although it might be possible, I have never felt the car "adjust" the front ride height under braking. Are you sure about this? As far as the raised ride height goes, it's really just for ground clearance. I will admit the car looks great raised and it's really nice for driving in traffic for extra visibility but the ride is way too harsh and bouncy in raised mode. Try hitting a speed bump or a dip with the car raised and you'll know what I mean.
