Function of AMG adaptive sport suspension
system
The AMG adaptive sport suspension system is
an air suspension system with variable damping
for improved driving characteristics. The all-
round level control system ensures the best pos‐
sible 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 con‐
sumption. You also have the option of manually
adjusting the vehicle level.
The damping is adjusted individually for each
wheel and is influenced by the following factors:
R
The driving style, e.g. sporty
R
The road condition, e.g. bumps
R
The individual selection of "Sport", "Sport
Plus", "Comfort" or "Economy"
