Airmatic Problem

Note that I have E500 , 2003 model, today in afternoon I stopped the car while the Airmatic system set in level one (one Red light) in the evening I take it off to the comfort mode, but while driving I got this error message in the instruments cluster, however I drive the car normally without any problem, but I feel if I need to adjust the level like rise or lower the car , it seems its not working.

Dose any one face the same.

I have the same problem now. I get the message every few days, but nothing seems to be wrong. Afraid to take it in because it looks to be an expensive problem.

I would assume it would not go lower by time. Shouldn't you let the dealer at least read the fault codes?

Well By the time the car wont get lower after you get that message, but if you parked the car for more than 6 houres u will find the car lowered in all wheels, but it rise very slow,, that because of the pump which in front left side, it cost arround $ 250 , its same an Air pump , note that you need to change the fuse too which is already expierd after that part got a fulty , that fuse is orange and it located under the gloves in the right side.

I already fix mine and its ok now.. any one wish to get my help am at your service

Regards
