Your vehicle automatically adjusts its ride height to improve driving safety and reduce fuel consumption.

Depending on the vehicle height that has been set, the vehicle automatically adjusts its height dependent on the current speed. As speed increases, the vehicle is lowered by up to 0.6 in (15 mm). As the speed is reduced, the vehicle is raised up to the set vehicle height.

WARNING
The vehicle is lowered when the engine is switched off. Therefore, make sure that nobody is in the vicinity of the wheel housing or under the vehicle when you switch off the engine. Otherwise, limbs could become trapped.

The vehicle is lowered when the engine is switched off. Make sure when parking that you position your vehicle so that it does not make contact with the curb as the vehicle is lowered. Your vehicle could otherwise be damaged.

For AMG vehicles: when the engine is switched off, the vehicle is lowered by approx. 0.4 in (10 mm).

Select the "Normal" setting for normal road surfaces and "Raised" for driving with snow chains or on particularly poor road surfaces.
