Introduction of the New E-Class, Model Series 212 Sedan
Sports suspension, code (677)
The principle and function of the sports suspension
are the same as those of the DIRECT CONTROL
suspension with selective damping system.
It offers the customer a 15 mm lower vehicle with
harder damping. Roll support is also increased,
leading to smaller roll angles when a dynamic driving
style is used.
In technical terms it differs from the basic suspension
in its harder, shorter springs, harder dampers and
larger torsion stabilizer bars with strengthened torsion
bar linkages.
Suspension for increased ground clearance,
code (482)
For selected countries a special "suspension for
increased ground clearance" is available, which differs
from the basic suspension in that the overall level of
the vehicle is 15 mm higher. The raised level at the
front axle is achieved through the use of an appropri-
ately raised spring plate and the rear axle by means of
appropriate shims and lengthened springs.
