Suspension tuning

General notes

The electronically controlled damping system works continuously. This improves driving safety and ride comfort.

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 of Sport, Sport + or Comfort

If you select Sport or Sport + mode and restart the engine, the suspension setting reverts to Comfort mode.

Sport mode

Sport mode

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.

•► Press button 1 once.

•► Press button 1 repeatedly until indicator lamps 3 and 4 go out.

You have selected Comfort mode.

The AMG Suspension System COMFORT message appears in the multifunction display.
