## NHTSA's summary

Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 43 number 12\-08 dated February 2, 2012. The self\-leveling system cannot be adjusted any more with the MMI. The compressor for the self\-leveling system continues to run after switching off the engine and locking the vehicle. DTCs may be stored. Because of poor performance or failure of the compressor for air suspension, the vehicle position cannot be adjusted. As a safeguard, the control module will lower the vehicle to the lowest position and illuminate the warning light. Drivability is not affected.
