Best setting Air Suspension when towing

Good morning. I tow a 6500 kg Swift Conqueror 530. My tow car a 2021 XC60 B5 Diesel Inscription Pro fitted with air suspension. Do any members have experience of towing with air suspension and when towing which suspension settings have you found to be most suitable? i.e. Comfort, Performance(sport) or Eco settings. Thank you. Roy

Lol I have just seen my mistake on my caravans weight, it certainly isn't 6500 kg It is in fact 1650kg sorry about that. Cheers Roy

Although I've not got air suspension and an XC90 this got me curious and found this in the XC90 manual..

Important
When driving with a trailer in a car with air suspension*, use the Dynamic drive mode or the Suspension Control → Dynamic setting in Individual drive mode.
