MAGIC BODY CONTROL function

MAGIC BODY CONTROL is an electrohydraulic suspension with variable damping for improved driving comfort. 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. The suspension tuning is adjusted depending on the road surface, vehicle load and the drive program selected. The ROAD SURFACE SCAN function detects areas of unevenness in the road before you drive over them by means of a multifunction camera. This reduces chassis movements. The option of manually adjusting the vehicle level is also available.

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

  • The driving style, e.g. sporty

  • The road condition, e.g. bumps

  • The individual selection of the drive program: (Sport), (Comfort), (CURVE) or (Economy)

MAGIC BODY CONTROL comprises:

  • Active Body Control ABC

  • ROAD SURFACE SCAN

  • Curve inclination function CURVE

  • Automatic level control system

  • Automatic vehicle stabilisation in the event of sidewinds

  • Speed-dependent lowering to reduce fuel consumption

  • Manually selectable high-level setting for greater ground clearance

  • DYNAMIC SELECT switch and level button

Characteristics

(Sport)

  • The suspension tuning is firmer.

  • The vehicle is lowered.

  • When driving at speeds between 65 km/h and 140 km/h the vehicle is lowered steadily and remains at this level up to the maximum vehicle speed.

  • When returning to speeds between 140 km/h and 65 km/h the vehicle is raised again.

  • ROAD SURFACE SCAN is deactivated.

(Comfort)

  • The suspension tuning is comfortable.

  • The vehicle is set to the normal level.

  • When driving at speeds between 0 km/h and 15 km/h the vehicle is lowered steadily.

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

  • ROAD SURFACE SCAN is active.

(CURVE)

  • The suspension tuning is comfortable.

  • The vehicle is set to the normal level.

  • When driving at speeds between 0 km/h and 15 km/h the vehicle is lowered steadily.

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

  • The curve inclination function is active.

  • ROAD SURFACE SCAN is active.

(Economy)

  • The suspension tuning is comfortable.

  • The vehicle is set to the normal level.

  • When driving at speeds between 0 km/h and 15 km/h the vehicle is lowered steadily.

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

  • ROAD SURFACE SCAN is deactivated.

Crosswind Assist
The crosswind stabilisation:

  • Operates by changing wheel loads through adjusting the ABC spring struts.

  • Reduces disruptions when driving straight ahead.

  • Supports countersteering.

  • Is active in the speed range between 80 km/h and 210 km/h when driving straight ahead or cornering gently.
