Question Height Control

Anyone notice that height control kicks back to neutral position after around 25 MPH? If this is normal what good is height control lol?

Default Well

Height Control is only the rear, and Low is used to help load things and help people getting in and out. High is used for extra clearance in slow manuvers. So it is useful. The same things happen in the LX470 as well, it's just 4 corner control on the LX. I am fairly sure that for most SUV's with height control, it is mainly to aid entry/exit, and that it returns to a default position once underway...
