Vehicle equipment
This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and special equipment available for the
model series. It may therefore describe equip‐
ment and functions which are not installed in
your vehicle, for example on account of the op‐
tional equipment selected or the country variant.
This also applies to safety-relevant functions and
systems. Please comply with the relevant laws
and regulations when using the corresponding
functions and systems.
Adaptive M suspension
Principle
The Adaptive M suspension is a controllable
sports suspension. The system reduces unwan‐
ted vehicle movements when a dynamic driving
style is used or when driving on uneven roads.
Depending on road conditions and driving style,
driving dynamics and driving comfort are en‐
hanced as a result.
General
The system offers various damper configura‐
tions.
The damper configurations are assigned to the
different drive modes of the Driving Experience
Control, see page
144 .

Performance Control
Performance Control increases the agility of the
vehicle.
Individual wheels are braked to increase agility
for a sporty driving style. The resulting braking
effect is largely compensated for by a simultane‐
ous engine control action.
