The "Raised level" setting is cancelled at
vehicle speeds above 120 km/h or if the
speed has been between 80 km/h and
120 km/h for more than approximately
three minutes. If you do not drive within this
speed range, the raised level remains
stored, even when the key is removed from
the ignition lock.
Suspension tuning
The Adaptive Damping System (ADS) auto-
matically controls the calibration of the
dampers and springs.
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, i.e. sports or com-
fort
Your selection remains stored even if you
remove the key from the ignition lock.
Sports tuning
The firmer suspension tuning in sports mode
ensures even better contact with the road.
Select this mode when employing a sporty
driving style, e.g. on winding country roads.
