Airmatic Problem...

So after leaving my car parked for no more than two days, this is what happens....I started it up, the Big Red "Stop Car is Too LOW" Error came on, and after 10 min it went away and adjusted to normal. That was earlier today, a few hours later (about 30min ago), i went to go check on it and it was back down low again...any ideas?

Yes. You have a leak. Check your rear struts at either side and see if they are leaking fluid first. They may need replacement. If not, then move on to the next step and check for air leaks in the system.

It is difficult to detect air leak with a visual inspection. You would need some special spray (soap water) that reveals leaks, or have the system diagnosed with Star.
