Suspension tuning
The electronically controlled ABC suspension system works continuously. This improves driving safety and comfort.
The ABC suspension system 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
• the vehicle load
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 if you prefer a firmer suspension tuning.
If indicator lamp 2 is not lit: press
button 1.
Indicator lamp 2 lights up. You have selected the suspension for a sporty driving style.
The ABC Active Body Control 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.
If indicator lamp 2 is lit: press
button 1.
Indicator lamp 2 goes out. You have selected the suspension for a comfortable driving style.
The ABC Active Body Control COMFORT message appears in the multifunction display.
