AIRMATIC is an air suspension system with an all-round level control system, which also ensures the best possible suspension and constant ground clearance, even with a laden vehicle. When you drive at speed, the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driving safety and to reduce fuel consumption. There is also the option of raising the vehicle level while driving slowly, e.g. for driving off public roads. The AIRMATIC settings are dependent on the drive program selection.

and 
: the vehicle is set to normal level
from speeds of approx. 110 km/h, the vehicle lowers
at speeds below approx. 75 km/h, the vehicle is raised again
: the vehicle is set to the lower level
at higher speeds, the vehicle level does not continue to lower
/: the vehicle is set to the higher level
at speeds above approx. 30 km/h, the vehicle level lowers to the normal level
at speeds below approx. 10 km/h, the vehicle is raised again
at speeds above approx. 100 km/h, the vehicle switches to drive program
If the vehicle is raised in the Lift drive program or lowered when changing from the Lift drive program to another drive program, occasional creaking noises may occur at the brake.
Operation with a trailer or bicycle rack: if the electrical connection has been correctly established, the vehicle remains on normal level regardless of speed.
The overheating protection has been activated due to frequent level changes within a short time. The Compressor is cooling message is then shown in the multifunction display.
After the cooling phase, AIRMATIC is again available without restrictions.
