What the driver may notice
- A warning message, changed sound or changed vehicle behaviour.

Possible causes
- Air spring, fitting or line leak.
- Compressor wear or overheating.
- Valve block, reservoir or pressure issue.
- Height sensor, wiring, module or low voltage.
Safe checks before booking
- Record the exact warning text without clearing it.
- Note vehicle temperature, speed, drive mode and when the symptom began.
- Check only visible fluid levels, tyres or obvious leakage where safe and permitted by the handbook.
What professional diagnosis may require
- A complete compatible module scan with event data retained.
- Physical inspection and directed electrical, pressure or mechanical tests.
- A controlled road test only when the vehicle is safe to drive.
