Hi, If you dont use the car for a few days is it normal for he car to lower itself?
Mine seems about 1" from the tyre.

Thanks

Agreed - mine does that.

Thankyou - Is it ok to drive off straight away or should you start it and wait until it goes up.

If its too low, you will have a warning message on the dash. If that happens, start the engine and let the car rise, should only take a few seconds.

Quite normal...

I wouldn't worry too much, its quite normal, as long as the car raises once started. The car will prompt you if its too low or if there's a fault in the system. Cold weather will make it drop a little faster than usual. Hope this helps.

totally normal, ok to drive off straight away

Thanks, and is it normal for the car height to lower as soon as you remove the key after a drive. I would have thought it would have stayed raised for a few minutes just in case the driver might want to go for a ride again.
