AMG adaptive sport suspension system
Function of the AMG adaptive sport suspen‐
sion system
The AMG adaptive sport suspension system is
an air suspension system with variable damping
for improved driving comfort. The all-round level
control system ensures the best possible sus‐
pension and constant ground clearance, even
with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed, the
vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driv‐
ing safety and to reduce fuel consumption. You
also have the option of manually adjusting the
vehicle level.
The damping is adjusted individually to each
wheel and depends on the following factors:
R
Driving style, e.g. sporty
R
Road condition, e.g. bumps
R
The individual selection of COMFORT,
SPORT or SPORT +
