Default telling if you have air ride or not

Hey this si a total newbie question, but just to be sure about the LS i bought without jacking up the car. The air suspension has big rubber/plastic caps on top of the strut towers right, when i bought the car yesterday i didnt feel like jacking it up. This looks like a regulars cars bumpstop on the lex i bought so i figured it was the normal shock/spring and not the air ride. How would one tell from the engine bay looking at the towers to see if its air ride?

Do you have any buttons inside that can raise the car or a button that says sport or norma.. If not you dont have a air suspension.
