Function of AMG RIDE CONTROL +

AMG RIDE CONTROL + is an air suspension system with variable damping for improved driving characteristics. The all-round level control system ensures the best possible 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 consumption. You also have the option of manually adjusting the vehicle level.

The damping is set individually for each wheel and is affected by the following factors:

  • Driving style, e.g. sporty

  • Road condition, e.g. bumps

  • The individual selection of Sport, Sport + or COMFORT

AMG RIDE CONTROL + includes the following components and functions:

  • Air suspension with variable spring rate and automatic level control

  • Speed-dependent lowering to reduce fuel consumption

  • Manually selectable high-level setting for greater ground clearance

  • ADS PLUS (Adaptive Damping System with constant damping force adjustment)

  • DYNAMIC SELECT switch and level button

  • Rocker switch for suspension settings

Suspension setting and vehicle level per drive program
Drive program :

  • The suspension setting and the all-wheel drive 4MATIC+ are adapted for sporty performance on fine, loose surfaces.

  • The vehicle is set to high level (+1).

  • The vehicle is lowered to the normal level (0) when driving at speeds of 70 km/h or above.

Drive program :

  • The suspension setting and the all-wheel drive 4MATIC+ are adapted for driving in areas with no firm road surfaces.

  • The vehicle is set to high level (+1).

  • The vehicle is lowered to the normal level (0) when driving at speeds of 70 km/h or above.

Drive programs and :

  • The suspension setting is comfortable.

  • The vehicle is set to the normal level (0).

  • The vehicle is lowered to the low level (-1) when driving at speeds of 120 km/h or above.

  • The vehicle is once again raised to the normal level (0) in the following situations:

    • you are driving at less than 80 km/h.

    • you are driving for an extended period of time at less than 120 km/h.

  • 4MATIC+ is dynamically synchronised.

Drive programs , and :

  • The suspension setting is even firmer.

  • The vehicle is set to low level (-1).

  • The vehicle is not lowered any further if you are travelling at higher speeds.

  • 4MATIC+ is more dynamically synchronised.

Drive programs and :

  • The suspension setting is even firmer.

  • The vehicle is set to low level (-1).

  • The vehicle is not lowered any further if you are travelling at higher speeds.

  • 4MATIC+ is more dynamically synchronised.

Differences between different vehicle levels compared to the normal level (0):

  • High level (+1): approximately +55 mm

  • Low level (-1): approximately -10 mm

In addition, you can select the setting in every drive program using the rocker switch in the centre console. After a drive program is changed, the automatic suspension setting of the drive program is reactivated.
