2016 GL350 Bluetec - Suspension malfunction came on

Today while driving in 20 degree weather on a totally dry, flat and smooth road the picture of the GL with an arrow up saying malfunction came on. It keeps coming back. The truck is now horrible over speed bumps and it appears to be 2-3 inches lower than normal (but evenly lowered on all 4 corners). Car has 47,000 miles. We are original owners and still under new car warranty (we also have the factory extended up to 8/31/23). I’m going to take it in Monday. Any ideas? Will it damage it to drive it 20 miles to dealer? Thanks.

I’m guessing your pump to the airmatic took a dump. Pull the orange 40amp fuse in the engine bay and see if that make any difference in the driving dynamics. Anyway, you won’t do any more damage in 20 miles

They fixed it. The pump failed. Was not a huge deal to repair. Covered under warranty. More of a hassle than anything.
