Look under the vehicle and see if you have springs. In the front the spring would be part of the strut. In the rear its not. If you see a black bladder where the spring is supposed to be, you have air an pneumatic system.

The following link will show you what the parts look like:

Regarding the behavior you wrote, what is written doesn't make any sense. Unless you have 4 corners air, the front did not move, and I didn't think the R350 had 4 corners air. If you have air in the back and it rose up from setting in the cold, the air-spring(s) is/are leaking. Quite common to have air bladders leak from the cold. You'd have to replace them.
