Congratulations on your purchase... If your car suspension rises up to the selected height setting (Normal, 1st or 2nd) after you start the engine, and the red warning light disappears, I would consider this an acceptable problem, with which you might have to live -
I have had this problem for years, but the car has over 300.000 Kilometers (200.000 Miles) on the clock...
Glove box latch: Same problem here - I used velcro - no more glove box..

If the ABC is programmed off in the computer, it won't re-inflate the strut, hence why it's sitting low. You will need to get a dealer or someone with STAR to reprogram it. I would have whoever you bought it from reprogram it. You are basically driving around with no suspension.

I wouldn't worry too much about the steering wheel unless it does it all the time. mine's only done it a handful of times & it always returns to normal next time I start/drive the car. Let me know what the dealer says about it if you do take it in though.
