Function of AIRMATIC

AIRMATIC is an air suspension system with variable damping for improved driving comfort and vehicle dynamics. 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.

AIRMATIC is comprised of the following functions and components:

  • Air suspension with automatic level control

  • Speed-dependent lowering

  • Manually selectable high level setting for greater ground clearance which can be adjusted using a level button

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

Suspension settings and vehicle level

(Comfort)

(Economy)

  • The suspension setting is comfortable.

  • The vehicle is set to the normal level.

  • When driving at speeds above approximately 140 km/h, the vehicle is lowered.

  • When driving at speeds below approximately 40 km/h, the vehicle is raised again.

  • Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack: if the electrical connection has been correctly established, the vehicle remains at normal level irrespective of speed.

(Sport)

  • The suspension setting is firmer.

  • The vehicle is lowered to sport level.

  • Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack: if the electrical connection has been correctly established, the vehicle remains at normal level.

(Sport +)

  • The suspension setting is even firmer.

  • The vehicle is lowered to Sport + level.

  • Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack: if the electrical connection has been correctly established, the vehicle remains at normal level.

(Off-road)

  • The suspension setting is suitable for easily negotiable off-road terrain.

  • The vehicle is set to off-road level +1 (raised level).

  • When driving at speeds above approximately 80 km/h, the vehicle is lowered.

  • When driving at speeds below approximately 45 km/h, the vehicle is raised.

(Individual)

  • You can call up individual suspension settings here.

Lower when entering On(Entering/exiting level)

  • The active entry/exit level sets the vehicle to low level -2 to facilitate entering/exiting the vehicle.

  • When driving at speeds above approx. 30 km/h, the entry/exit level is deactivated and the vehicle is raised.

Differences between different vehicle levels compared to the normal level:

  • Car wash: approx. +90 mmMore

  • Raised level: approx. +50 mm

  • Sport: approx. -15 mm

  • Sport +: approx. -25 mm

Car wash level is 40 mm above the maximum vehicle height (raised level). Driving into underground car parks at car wash level risks damaging the vehicle.

System limits
AIRMATIC may not be available or have only limited availability in the following cases:

  • The overheating protection has been activated due to frequent level changes within a short time. The warning lamp appears in the multifunction display.

    After the cooling phase, the system is again available without restriction.
