Default How long does your light blink?

When I start my car in normal mode (not sport, sport plus of "M"), my spoiler light blinks for a couple of minutes, then goes out. The light would go out earlier if I press the sport button or press and hold the spoiler button until the spoilers activate. Is this initial blinking normal? If not, I think there must be a sensor that needs adjustment.

for what it's worth, when I started my car at the dealership, I noticed that it was blinking, too.

Same here. ^^^
Blinked only a few times since.
I assume it's some kind of sensor issue detecting full retraction.

Unfortunately the manual does not mention it being normal to blink when started. It only says it blinks when it is changing positions. I hope the sensor recalibrates itself over time.

I noticed it at first also and brought the spoiler up and down a couple of times.But now I just leave it alone and it does it thing.It is complicated as it is always adjusting for speed.So, initially it is probity just booting up.Don,t worry about it,as you see ,others peoples TSs do it also,so no big deal.
Enjoy your very high tect machine...
