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

  • Suspension setting button
