FFunction of t unction of the r he rear wing ear wing
The rear wing improves the vehicle's driving stabil-
ity and automatically retracts and extends while
the vehicle is in motion. Depending on the vehicle
speed, it adopts di erent positions and thus
adapts the vehicle's aerodynamics to the driving
conditions.
Vehicles with the AMG Aerodynamics package are
tted with a stationary rear wing (
/
page 252).
Depending on which drive program has been
selected, the rear wing automatically extends at a
speed greater than 70 km/h.
Depending on the drive program, the rear wing
automatically retracts below a speed of approx-
imately 80 km/h.
You can retract and extend the rear wing manually
for cleaning (
