Vehicle level conrol

Malfunction indicator is on and states to visit the workshop. it doesn't
state car is too low. Is it OK to drive the car at normal speeds. I have
to go approximately 350 miles.

Thanks for any help or suggestions.

Not a good idea. Have it towed to the nearest workshop. If you drive it much further you might damage more airmatic items and perhaps tyres/fenders. Trust me.

If it says 'stop, vehicle too low' then you should pull over (although MB says even then you can drive it but carefully.)

Otherwise you can drive it to the dealer. But in your case 350 miles is a long drive. It's also a long flat-bed trip.

If the car is actually slammed you'll need the MB towing blocks (P32.00-2022-09) to even get it on the truck.

Why not get it to an Indy first and see what they say? You have a lot of courage to own one of these cars living that far away from a dealer.

Or maybe you're on the road now. Why not just call MB Assist?
