Need help. I have recently been leaving my '04 S55 parked for longer durations and notice now on a couple of occasions the vehicle low message indicator is on when I start the car. Push the ABC and the car levels out. Seems to be dropped down on right side. I haven't seen this before but also never left it sit for any length of time. I have to now back up several weeks prior to - I hit something on I5 outskirts of Portland enough to destroy the right front tire. Replaced the tires and didn't think any more of it until this lowering problem. Is there a connection? Could I have damaged something when I hit whatever it was I hit? Thanks for your help.

 

probably NOT related. it is normal for a Benz with ABC to settle over time and this is normal.. if this happens while the car sits for a day or 2 then youve got an issue. but sitting for a week or more this is normal. there are some issues with ABC hoses under the car that leak and eventually blow out and then youll pay $$$ for the fix.

 

Thank you - started worrying there. I will wait then for next scheduled maintenance and have them have a look. Also was wondering about alignment. can hiiting something hard knock this out? Thanks.
