What does exactly Auto Level ride do?, I’ve noticed in my WL (middle Eastern Version) when i put in reverse the Rear suspension Lifts up little, when i shift in Drive the Rear Suspension Lowers a little, that’s all it does or mine is Faulty or something??

That isn't to do with the auto leveling. Its more the rotation of the tailshaft moving taking up slack in the suspension up or down as it flicks into gear.

Suspension has some give and when you put it in gear, the rotation starts but the brakes stop the car from moving, hence it takes forces against the suspension and drops or lifts a little.

Yeah, with the braks applied and the car in Drive, give the engine a small rev. Now select reverse, brakes on and give the engine a rev.

It's just a torque reaction loading and unloading the suspension. Probably more noticeable on a softly sprung Caprice.
