The AIRMATIC air suspension in the S-Class, while offering a smooth ride, can develop problems due to:

Rough Roads: Pakistani road conditions can be hard on air suspension components like air struts and compressors, leading to leaks o r failures.

Climate Impact: Extreme heat and dust reduce the lifespan of rubber seals and air bladders.

Lack of Proper Maintenance: Many workshops do not have the tools o r expertise to properly service air suspension systems. Preventive care is often ignored.

Warning Signs: Common signs include sagging on one side, Car Too Low warning lights, o r a noticeable change in ride comfort. Ignoring these signs can lead to full system failure, costing over PKR 300,000 to repair in some cases.
