It says : "Airmatic, Stop your car is low "

From manual.

STOP Car Too Low:

You have started driving although the vehicle level was too low.
The vehicle will be raised.
Stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
Engage the electronic parking brake.
Wait until the message disappears from the multifunction
display. You may then drive off.

STOP Car Too Low:

The AIRMATIC is malfunctioning.
Avoid excessive steering maneuvers. The fenders or tires could otherwise be damaged. Listen for scraping noises.
Stop and press the vehicle level control switch to select a higher vehicle level (Y page 343).
Do not drive faster than 50 mph (80 km/h). X Contact an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as
possible. There is otherwise danger of an accident.

I had this same message in my 2004 S500. I came back from vacation and the front end looked like it was sitting on the garage floor.

In my case, the dealer diagnosed a leaking AIRMATIC element in the right-front wheel assembly and replaced it.

You might have a leak in an AIRMATIC component somewhere, causing the air to escape from the system even after the AIRMATIC pump engages.

Good luck.

Many thanks for the response. I will take it to MBZ dealer. By the way where can I buy reasonably priced Shocks for S500
