Airmatic warning
Guys sorry to bother, I have tried to search the forums but did not find any results matching my issue. I got the dreaded Airmatic Error Car is too low. I tired to press the button to raise the car but with no luck. The entire car is low not just one side.
Any advice would be greatly appricated.

try disconnecting the battery for half an hour then reconnecting, see the "resets" link in the sticky thread.
if that doesnt work and/or you dont hear the air compressor running, youll need a shop to diagnose... usually all 4 down, all of a sudden, means a bad pump.
What caused the pump to fail is another issue. Usually a bad relay which causes the pump to continually run, or a massive system air leak/open hose.

You're still relatively new, so perhaps you missed the W220 S-Class Owners Start Here sticky at the top of the W220 forum; it had a lot of info on airmatic, and also has much more.
MBWorld doesn't let us edit posts for long, which causes a problem in a working document. You may find the similar writeup - the W220 S-Class Encyclopedia at http://mbca.cartama.net/showthread.php?t=33904 is easier to maintain, so it is also easier to read.
