Default Ride Height Button

On my 2013 with air suspension, which setting will give me the most height while engaging the ride height button? Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, Sport+? I can go to my car with a tape measure and spend an hour cycling thru the settings while the slow compressor does it's job. Hoping someone already knows though. Unfortunately, the owners manual isn't very descriptive about the system. We have some sharp entries and exits at parking lots here in hilly San Diego. Thanks guys.

On my 2013 it runs between 29-29 1/4 inches in any mode measured from level concrete through the centre line of the wheel to the lower edge of the fenders.

Thanks Gerf. I did some searching. At highway speeds, the car automatically lowers itself. Not clear if hitting height button makes a difference. Several people commented the difference between low and high is just under an inch. It seems to be a subtle change. But it can't hurt to raise it when driving to a known high angle of approach.

It's not very reactive, nothing like a German car that can give 3 inches of difference in 15 seconds or so.

Yes Striker, hard for me to feel a difference. Subtle can be a good thing, but sometimes hard to recognize. Good thing there's a light on the dash. In the end, I'm grateful that a 2013 at 60k miles, everything is working well.
