Mercedes-Benz R350 4matic
Airmatic behavior when car is not often used.

My R350 is a family car that it is not used very often. There are times that I leave the car for more than 10-12 or more days without driving.
My question is if, by experience, anyone knows how long does it take for the car to lower. It is logical for air springs to loose pressure in order not to be always in high pressure since the car is inactive. Also, I was wondering if there is a leak. For me, I see it in about 2 weeks time.

is it an airmatic with the ride height button on the dash or just the standard airbag self leveling rear suspension? You don't say what year it is... 2 weeks seems ok.

Sorry about that!
It is an airmatic with the ride height button. The year is 2006.

I was in Brasil for a month over Xmas and I didn't notice any appreciable sagging when I got back.

Hope that helps
