To begin with, I'm going to assume that the word 'light' should be 'lift', and you're referring to the Lift mode on the MMI screen, and not the yellow and green warning 'lights' in the instrument cluster. Can you also clarify 'sedately' in terms of speed?

With that in mind, I wonder if you're just experiencing exactly what the air suspension is designed to do. The following snippet mentions the limitations of the Lift function, so if 'sedately' is under 63mph, then this would appear to be what's happening.

Further detailed information about the air suspension can be found in the following PDF from the 'D3 Tech dump' section:
