I was wondering if the following has ever been observed by others: you are in stop and go traffic, and at some point, the suspension begins to self level while you are in a stopped position? Happened once and thought nothing of it and it happened again (about a month later).
Thanks

Yes, the car raises and lowers in auto mode. The cars front end will dip at higher speeds then once at a standstill or at a red light it will re-level the car. Read the manual about the suspension for more info

in addition to the speed related changes, mine does also occasionally do some "fine tuning." The most obvious is if meaningful extra weight/passengers are added or subtracted, especially in the trunk, but it does it sometimes just in traffic--could be car settling and loosening up as it warms up, or I suppose even just making up for tiny leakage.
Car design is such that it raises first in back, but lowers first in front--done so headlights don't blind oncomers.
