AIRMATIC and KEYLESS GO question from newb

Just picked up a nice 2012 CLS550, love the car. Anyway, have a couple of questions... 1st question: I'm noticing that after the car sits for a few hours the AIRMATIC suspension drops about a finger all around... its an even drop. As soon as I open the door and sit on it I hear the compressor start and raise it that 1 finger (about 3/4"). Is this normal? Im paranoid about AIRMATIC repairs since the car is out of warranty...

2nd question: How can I easily determine if my car has KEYLESSGO? THe car came with two keys but it didnt have the the removable button... maybe it was just lost somewhere (car was a trade in). Also, if it turns out the car has KEYLESSGO, does the button need to be programmed by the dealer? Or is it just a dummy that depresses 'something' in the ignition?

Thanks!

Keyless go has that start/stop button that goes inside the ignition. If your car is equipped with it and got lost somehow, you can pick one up at the dealership.

As far as your suspension goes, I use a lowering module so I havent noticed the height difference but I can hear it airing out after the car is turned off. It usually happens when I come back to my car after a while.

If you have keyless go, you should be able to lock the car by touching the outside of the door handles.
