AMG active adaptive sport suspension sys‐
tem
Function of the AMG ACTIVE adaptive sport
suspension system
The AMG ACTIVE adaptive sport suspension sys‐
tem is an air suspension system with variable
damping for improved driving characteristics.
The all-round level control system ensures the
best possible suspension and constant ground
clearance, even with a laden vehicle. When driv‐
ing at speed, the vehicle is lowered automati‐
cally to improve driving safety and to reduce fuel
consumption. You also have the option of man‐
ually adjusting the vehicle level.
The damping is set individually for each wheel
and is affected by the following factors:
R
Driving style, e.g. sporty
R
Road condition, e.g. bumps
R
The individual selection of Sport, Sport + or
