2006 R500 - Do they have air ride at all 4 corners

Did the 2006 R500 have 4 corner air ride or just the rear?

I am learning about the R500.
I can see the compressor and air control valve.
The valve only has 3 ports.
1. larger INlet
2. 2 small out puts.

I have replaced the air control valve on my S500. This valve has ports for each shock.

It was optional on the R500. If you have the sport/comfort suspension button on the center console, you have 4 corner air. If not, you only have the rear air bags for leveling. By my estimation, only about 1/4 to 1/3 of R500s had the ADS system.

My 06 R500 just had rear air springs and steel coil struts up front. Though mine does not have many options but I bought it pretty cheap so it serves its purpose.
