Car lowers after sitting for a week.

Is this normal? I just got back from a 10 day vacation. My 06 CLS is bottomed out sitting in the garage. It levels just fine when I start it up.
Normally I drive it daily. This only happens when I leave it for a week or more.

It's normal. Remember it rides on an Airmatic suspension.

how old / miles is your car? might be fine, might be a leak in your airmatic system... but that will generate an error message in the cluster.

No error messages. I had it in for service and all checked normal. I guess they just lose air if they sit long enough.
