Air Suspension Icon Showing Up and Down Arrows At Same Time, Why?

I was sitting in my GLE 53 AMG Coupe on the phone and I had raised the suspension, then lowered it (I was bored lol). After the car came down, I pressed it to go down again and it didnt go down, however, I noticed that this icon came on and the light by the air suspension toggle was blinking red.

When the suspension is going up, this icon comes on and flashes with the arrow pointing up, and when the car is coming down, the same thing, except the arrow is facing down.

Has anyone seen this before where the up AND down arrows are on while this icon is flashing on the dash? I did not notice the car moving at all. Part of me was hoping it would start bouncing lol.

I think that icon means the suspension is in the raised position. Funny thing is I noticed that icon on my screen the other day and wondered what it was, I hit the button to lower the suspension and it went away.

I thought the icon would be solid with only the up arrow. This one was blinking and had both arrows shown and the red light by the rocker switch was blinking red.

When that emblem is blinking, it means the vehicle is raising or lowering. When the emblem is static it means the vehicle is in the raised position. It's all in the manual.

Right, and the emblem usually only has an up OR a down arrow with it. This one had BOTH and the car was not going up nor down.

The emblem has BOTH arrows always. Not one or the other.
