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
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.
Indicator lamp 4 lights up. You have selected Sport mode.
The AMG Suspension System SPORT message appears in the multifunction display.
Sport + mode
The very firm setting of the suspension tuning in Sport + mode ensures the best possible contact with the road. Select this mode only when driving on race circuits.
If indicator lamps 3 and 4 are off:
•► Press button 1 twice.

Comfort mode
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.
•► 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.
