Function of E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL

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 damping is adjusted individually to each wheel and depends on the following factors:

  • Driving style, e.g. sporty

  • Road condition, e.g. bumps

  • Drive program

E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL is comprised of the following functions and components:

  • Vehicles with Driving Assistance Package: ROAD SURFACE SCAN

  • Curve inclination function CURVE

  • Air suspension with automatic level control

  • Speed-dependent lowering to reduce fuel consumption

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

  • DYNAMIC SELECT button for selecting a drive program More

  • Manual level adjustment via the multimedia system

  • The suspension setting is firmer.

  • The vehicle is set to low level -1.

  • The vehicle is lowered to low level -2 when driving at speeds above approx. 120 km/h.

  • When driving at speeds below approx. 80 km/h, the vehicle is raised again to low level -1.

  • ROAD SURFACE SCAN is active.

  • 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.

  • When driving at speeds below 80 km/h, the vehicle is raised again to the normal level.

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.
