Level control* and shock absorption
Level control and shock absorption are regulated automatically in the car.
With rear level control, the car maintains the same height at the rear regardless of load. Level control can also occur even after the car has been parked.
Shock absorption (Four-C)
The shock absorption is adapted according to the selected drive mode and according to the speed of the car. Shock absorption is normally set for the best possible comfort and is regulated continuously depending on the road surface, the car's acceleration, braking and cornering.
Settings for level control
Deactivation of air suspension and level control
In certain cases, the function must be deactivated, e.g. before the car is raised with a jack*. The difference in level created by raising the car with a jack can otherwise cause problems for the air suspension.
Deactivating the function via the centre display:
Change the damping level1
Cars with active chassis (Four-C) and without the drive mode function* can adjust the shock absorption level via the centre display:
During transport
During transport of the car on a ferry, train or truck, the car must be lashed around the tyres and not around other parts of the chassis. Changes in the air suspension may occur during transport, which could affect the lashing negatively.
