Extended Suspension and Stalled Vehicle

Group: Forum Member Posts: 34, Visits: 88	Hello, I have two doubts, maybe someone could give me advice: 1. Yesterday I was going up a pretty steep hill (my G4 is automatic), and I had activated the high supension mode and LOW gear. Half way up the hill, I noticed I wasn´t giving enough gas as it started sliding a bit backwards...so I hit the brakes and then accelerated but the vehicle suddenly stalled and luckily, I was able to steer straight and go back down backwards safely. QUESTION: Does anyone know why the car stalled??? 2. I then decided to give it another go but with a different approach: I maintained a steady accelaration all the way up and it went up without problem. Once I was in top of the hill, I got out of the car and notcied the suspension was higher than usual. It was much more extended than high mode so I got back in the car and looked at the button next to the gear shift and noticed it was blinking in high mode. I then pushed the lever down and it went to normal high mode and light stopped blinking. QUESTION: I think I read somewhere that the car has a super extension mode when it npotices it has an obstacle to surpass but this option is not something you can do manually...it is rather an automatic response from the car. Is this correct???
