Malfunction message, pic of car with an up arrow

Had a message showing an arrow up, with the arrow being below the car symbol.

- the Owner's Manual has various examples with the arrow symbol being inside the car symbol. Does it make any difference if the arrow is under/inside the car symbol?
- I have access to Delphi DS150E scanner. Can it read the actual DTC or is an MB specific scan tool required?

The compressor has been replaced 18 months ago...

Post a photo of the message. What does the message say?

The alert said 'malfunction' in a foreign language.

It showed up few times, but it is no longer appearing. Can a Delphi scan tool give any meaningful information?

"Can a Delphi scan tool give any meaningful. "

How would I know if I do not own one?

Well, the question was naturally addressed to a wider audience...

Delphi scan tool gave the following codes:

5505 - Recovery times during filling of air suspension strut is too long. - Intermittent
5503 - Recovery time during filling of central pressure reservoir is too long - Intermittent
5508 - Hydraulic Pressure Unit Leakage - Intermittent

This page https://mercedes-benz.168motive.com/...ol-system.html suggests a stuck level linkage.

Any other insight into the codes?

I am not familiar at all with the level linkage. Is there somewhere available any technical description on the design and construction? Are there linkages for each wheel or just for front/rear of the car?

Thanks for the info.

The car belongs to my wife, so I hardly ever drive it myself. Here's some additional info:

- Contrary to my first posting, the malfunction symbol is as shown in the Owner's Manual
- While the alert was initially on while start-up, it now shows up while driving (possibly when the vehicle is supposed to lower itself?)
- The car is never sagging in any corner. I would say that it stands quite high up, but my wife does not see any difference to past -so who's to say..
