E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is an electrohydraulic suspension system 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 setting 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 suspension setting is comfortable.
The vehicle is set to the normal level.
The vehicle is lowered to low level -1 when driving at speeds above 120 km/h.
The vehicle is lowered to low level -2 when driving at speeds above 160 km/h.
When driving at speeds below 120 km/h, the vehicle is raised again to low level -1.

and
: ROAD SURFACE SCAN is active.
: the curve inclination function is active.
Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack: if the electrical connection has been correctly established, the vehicle, irrespective of speed or the drive program selected, is not automatically lowered or raised but rather remains at normal level.
