Default Lower the Adaptive Air Suspension Suddenly after Ignition Off

After I off the engine for a while, I found the Adaptive Air Suspension lower the height suddenly. Sometime is the front wheel, and sometime is rear wheel. Anybody know what's happen?

Default When everyone gets out the car wants to level...

but it cant with the doors open.
It then waits about 30 seconds for all clear.
Then it resets level.
This can also happen if you stop and engage parking brake while in drive so the car is pushing. Same thing, it resets when all is quiet.
We notice it when unloading groceries.

Mine 'levels' at stop lights. Is that normal or something to have the dealer look at?

Default Yes perfectly normal for air to level like that and typically

stop lights are where you would notice it after long braking and shift of load.
Under braking the weight increases on the front axle so car compensates. Once stopped it releases air from front to return level. All you notice is the front appearing to drop or back rising.

After a while you dont even notice but occasional passengers go "whoa did you feel that" LOL
