How to activate "Jack Mode" on the Porsche Macan.

Model: Porsche Macan MK 1 - Years 2013-2024
Part: Suspension system

The "Jack mode" is a very important specific function of our Porsche Macan, as it disables automatic leveling and is a safety procedure for lifting the car. In fact, the air suspension system tries to keep the car at the same height, so if we lift one corner to change a tire, the system thinks the car is lowered and attempts to raise it, which could be dangerous and damaging to the suspension. By holding down the two buttons as shown in the video, the system enters maintenance mode, deactivating the compressor and the suspension valves. Only by putting the car in this mode can we safely lift the car with a jack to change a wheel or perform other work without the risk of damaging expensive components of the air suspension.
