MAGIC BODY CONTROL
MAGIC BODY CONTROL function
MAGIC BODY CONTROL is an electrohydraulic
suspension with variable damping for improved
driving comfort. The all-round level control sys‐
tem ensures the best possible suspension and
constant ground clearance, even with a laden
vehicle. When driving at speed, the vehicle is
lowered automatically to improve driving safety
and to reduce fuel consumption. The suspension
tuning is adjusted depending on the road sur‐
face, vehicle load and the drive program selec‐
ted. The ROAD SURFACE SCAN function detects
areas of unevenness in the road before you drive
over them by means of a multifunction camera.
This reduces chassis movements. You also have
the option of manually adjusting the vehicle
level.
The damping is tuned individually for each wheel
and is affected by the following factors:
R
The driving style, e.g. sporty
R
The road condition, e.g. bumps
R
The individual selection of the drive program:
C (Sport), A (Comfort), N (CURVE)
