AIR BODY CONTROL includes the following components and functions:

  • Air suspension with variable spring rate

  • Automatic level control system

  • 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
