Means what it says. Your rear air suspension has a fault, or may have. Sometimes the error code is false. I've seen it a number of times and it has never actually been faulty and clears next time the car is started. To check, take the key out and leave the car for 20 mins or so it might clear and not return. If it keeps coming back then it needs looking at and you do need to go into a dealer.

Mine used to show up when the battery was poor or if I started the car as soon as I put the key in, rather than turning to Pos2, waiting for long enough to put the seat belt on and then starting. Hopefully in your case it's a false flag too.

ive had this message occasionally too, usually when i park on a funny camber and when i come back to the car later.
it always clears after a while with no further problems.
