Suspension tuning
General notes
The Adaptive Damping System (ADS) automatically controls the calibration of the dampers and springs.
The damping is tuned individually to each wheel and depends on:
• your driving style, e.g. sporty
• the road surface condition, e.g. bumps
• your individual selection, i.e. sports or comfort
Your selection remains stored even if you remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.
Sports tuning
The firmer suspension tuning in Sport mode ensures even better contact with the road.
Select this mode when employing a sporty driving style, e.g. on winding country roads.
If indicator lamp 2 is not lit: press
button 1.
Indicator lamp 2 lights up. Sports suspension tuning is selected.
The AIRMATIC SPORT message appears in the multifunction display.
Comfort tuning
In Comfort mode, the driving characteristics of your vehicle are more comfortable. Select this mode if you prefer a more comfortable driving style, but also when driving fast on straight roads, e.g. highways.
If indicator lamp 2 is lit: press
button 1.
Indicator lamp 2 goes out. Comfort tuning is selected.
The AIRMATIC COMFORT message appears in the multifunction display.
