AMG RIDE CONTROL
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:
R
your driving style, e.g. sporty
R
the road surface condition, e.g. bumps
R
your individual selection of Sport, Sport + or
Comfort
The suspension setting can be adjusted using
the corresponding button in the centre console
or the DYNAMIC SELECT controller
(
Y
page 155).
If the ignition is switched off for less than four
hours, the previously selected drive program is
activated when the engine is next started. If the
ignition is switched off for more than four hours,
Comfort mode is activated when the engine is
next started.
