Default SQ5 - When in Park, how to raise suspension?

Is there any way to auto switch the driver select settings when the car is in park?

I'm a taller guy with bad knees that makes it hard to get in/out of the car when low to the ground.

Would be nice if I could find a way to get it to lift up to Lift when in park and then when starting the car go back down to what I had before (dynamic/auto/comfort/individual etc).

not sure if you have ever noticed but when you are in the all-road setting the car remains second to highest level when at speeds under 20mph. At higher speeds, the car squats down to comfort level and then back up when stopped (or parked).

I have used that but its not very good because every-time stopping at a stop light the car is rising up, then going back down, etc.

Well thats why we pay all that extra money for "adaptive air suspension" its doing its job and working properly. Driver has to adapt. Here is mine in allroad setting in park with brake on. In 6'2" and step out easily.

Just didn't know if there was a way to get it to rise up like that only when in park, gets annoying at every stoplight watching it go up and down.

I've got bad knees and just a bit tough to get in/out of compared to my tahoe.

Everything else I love about the car. Got it last week and already have about 500 miles on it.

Why not put it into Allroad just before turning off the car or reaching destination? Then after starting back up switch to a different mode. It's only 2 or 3 clicks.
