"airmatic" is it time to change the sensors?
Hello Forum,
Each morning for the past week ... my right rear fender has pratically sat on my tire ... the good news ... once i start the car, it takes 8 seconds or less to self correct after the "stop! , car too low" signal comes on then disappears ....
Today, while driving, the "stop!, car too low signal came on", Oh , oh ...
I have a button on the dash that allows me to "manually" raise the car!
So far ... if i use the manual raise after the car automatically resets ... i seem to have eliminated the problem ... for that drive, lol; is some air "leakage" acceptable ... does extreme temperatures have any effect or IS IT TIME TO SERVICE THE VEHICHLE ???

this sounds like 1 of 2 possible issues. I doubt it is a sensor. I bet the air shock in the back is going bad and leaking. They aren't too bad to replace. I had a similar issue and was able to resolve it for a bit with the dash button, but then it stopped functioning as well. For me it was the air compressor in front that was bad. 700.00 to replace at a local private MB shop. since you just have one corner, it might just be that shock. I would replace it ASAP, because I think the pump can overheat from too much use to maintain a leaky system. I found several on e-bay for ok prices.
