That is the normal process, as the car is checking the circuit during this time.

As to the ride Hight, my car is lowered so I cannot help there.

However, even prior to lowering the car, running aground was common.

Try hitting the obstacle at an angle rather than at 90%.
once i start the car there are no lights stay on, on the dash when the spoiler is up or down, to be honest i did not realise there was a spoiler light on the dash or where it is
thanks for the reply though ill do some reserch to where this light should be

With Key on, prior to start, most left ICON

The icon is a car profile with arrow to spoiler. on the far left of the lights. This is on 2000 S, here in USA.




Also I did measure from the floor to the top of the wheel well on my car, 24.5 inches, that is with the Bilstein B12 lowering kit. Perhaps a DPO lowered your car.

Thanks for the image, i can say i have not seen that light on yet, mines a 2004s so i expect it to be the same lights.

i am going to get the local garage to check the front springs and shocks as to me it seems a little too low.
thanks for taking the time to measure yours
regards
Rob

This photo is key on; car not started

When I start the car, only the far left "spoiler" light stays on. It goes out once the car is going forward at least 4 mph.
