Problem overview

Some Mercedes-Benz R350 owners report experiencing issues when the "Car Too Low" alarm appears, often due to malfunctioning rear suspension airbags. This problem can result in the rear of the vehicle sitting lower than the front, leading to an uncomfortable ride and potential safety concerns. Owners are advised to inspect the rear suspension airbags for leaks or damage, as well as to check the fuse, relay, and fault codes using a diagnostic OBD II scanner. Additionally, some have found that performing an air suspension reset may help restore the proper ride height. If the warning persists or escalates to a severe "Stop, Car Too Low" message, it is recommended to avoid driving the vehicle to prevent further damage. Regular maintenance checks and prompt attention to any issues are crucial for ensuring the proper functioning of the air suspension system in the Mercedes-Benz R350.
