Question Physical car button unresponsive?

Had this happen to me yesterday, was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. Was approaching an intersection where I planned to raise the front axle, and noticed the physical car button below the display did not respond at all. I wasn't able to find another way to access the front axle lift menu in time. When I parked the car and turned it back on a few hours later, the button worked just fine and I was able to raise/lower the car via the menu in there.

If it resets itself then I wouldn't be too worried about it, think of what you did of parking it and coming back to the car, starting it again like a computer rebooting to get rid of glitches/bugs. If it keeps on happening, perhaps there is a software update to patch it.

I was, yes. Both when I attempted the first time (was waiting at the traffic light) where it didn't work, and when I tried again after getting back in the parked car where it did work. Regardless though, the car icon button should work while driving at any speed, since it is supposed to provide quick access to a bunch more functions than just raising the car. I've used it many times before while the car is driving. Was just curious if it was some one-off fluke or a more widespread problem.
