Air suspension reverting to "Normal" position

I set my suspension to Low 1 (level 1 notch down from Normal). But it seems that on occasion, I notice that it is back to Normal level. I cant figure out what causes that (switching in/out of Sport mode or Comfort, etc).

Is this normal, or am I imagining it and bumping the lever up or something..?

I've only seen this when the car is in the loading level. It raises the car back to normal when you drive off.

I never use the loading level option.... I will have to keep an eye on it to see if I can correlate it to some activity...

Never had a problem with that, except for the noise I started to hear from the air pump? Once you select the low level, it shouldn't change, unless it is the Loading Level. At Normal level, the car goes to a lower level automatically at high speeds (140 km/h or more) and goes up to the normal height again once you reach 80 km/h or lower.

My headlight switch also turned off , however I found out from a salesman that he had a customer that figured out that he was actually hitting it with his knee.
Since I have set my seat to go back when I get out it doesn't happen. I also realized i was hitting it with my knee, you don't even feel it.

I was able to replicate this several times today. If I am in the low 1 position and push the sport button while at a stop, it changes my suspension setting up to Normal. Did this several times today.

Have no idea why that would be a feature. Seems if anything it would lower from Normal to Low 1 for sport...not the other way around.

Ironically, if I press sport while moving, it doesn't do it. ...maybe a bug?

Sounds like a bug to me. When the car is in Normal height, it should lower to Low 1 when sport button is pressed, regardless moving or not.
