RS lift button problem
I can lift the car with the LIFT button but I can go to normal ride height with the button.
After lifting the nose with the button the only way to go down is going 50 kph.
Any idea why my LIFT button just goes up ?

Did you 'hold' the button 'long enough' until the "Lift" writing in the center cluster disappeared? Depends on the situation, it can take a good few seconds (and sometimes more) for that.

Can you share what happened after 3-4 seconds? If you keep holding the button longer, will the 'Lift' writing in the center cluster go away?
If I understand correctly, the button just opens the valve of the air bladder inside the lift system, and the weight of the car will naturally lowers down the ride height. The system monitors and reads the air pressure instead of the actually ride height, also if I understand correctly.
In a nutshell, the lift is just a simple air bladder system. Pumps air in, pressure raises the car. Opens the valve, weight loewers the car.
Depends on the situation (e.g. if our car is brand new, the air bladder might be stiff), hence it might need a few more seconds or some moving of the car to let the natural physics to 'squeeze' the air out.
If you are not sure, it wouldn't hurt to visit your dealer and have them check it out.
