ride height error message displays sometimes

Sometimes when I start my car, I'll get the ride height workshop message. But if I turn off the car and back on, it goes away. It shows up every once in a while, anyone know what's the issue?

The issue? Take those warnings seriously, an AirMatic failure pretty much disables the car, get it checked out or risk being stranded.

How do I check it? Check what, the bags? They're fine, the front ones have already been replaced with arnott.

Since the Airmatic has so many components, it's hard to figure out the problem without the proper diagnosis. I have had that error message come up many times, and it has been a different issue each time.

i have the visit workshop. Ended up being the rear leveling sensor. Since your car is at the shop, ask them to run it thru DAS for the fault codes.

you usually get this message when the pump exceeds the threshold time set to fill up the central reservoir. Once the central reservoir is filled the error will go away.
this is a sign of a failing airmatic pump
