You could otherwise fail to recognize
dangers.
E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is an electrohydraulic
suspension system with variable damping for
improved driving comfort. The all-round level con-
trol system ensures the best possible suspension
and constant ground clearance, even with a laden
vehicle. When driving at speed, the vehicle is low-
ered automatically to improve driving safety and
to reduce fuel consumption. The suspension set-
ting is adjusted depending on the road surface,
vehicle load and the drive program selected.
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.
