SL500 Hydraulic System questions
I got home today and found that my car was angled and sitting very oddly on one side of the car. It hasnt been driven for about a week or two. Theres a few questions I am wonder....
1st off: The drivers front side of the car was practically sitting on the tire. This is the first I have seen since Ive owned the car. The other three sides were fine from what I believe. When I started the car it gave me a warning saying that the car is to low please turn off. I turned the car off and restarted the car to find the same warning light and still sitting the same. I than pushed the different level settings of the height of the car and thats when it popped back up to its normal level! I played with all the three level settings and it seems fine. I turned the car off and its where it should be from what I believe.
Is this even normal which I highly doubt or is it the Hydraulic system going bad? If I drive it it seems fine.
2nd off: I have noticed when I warm up the car from a cold start after its warmed up I notice that the car drops a bit??
Thanks in advance!

Thats happens to me alot when the car is sitting for awhile. I sometimes let it run for about 10 min and then once you start to drive it raises back up to its normal stance.

Its kind of odd how that happens when its not driven for a while. I guess Ill just have to try to drive it more or at least start it on occassions. Thanks for the input though!!
