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 driving 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.
all-round air suspension
speed-dependent lowering to reduce fuel consumption
high level for greater ground clearance when driving slowly, for example off public roads, set with drive program Lift
DYNAMIC SELECT button
For drive program Lift, the instrument cluster display shows the symbol next to the transmission position display.
the vehicle is set to normal level
at speeds above approx. 110 km/h, the vehicle is lowered
at speeds below approx. 75 km/h, the vehicle is raised again
the vehicle is set to low level
the vehicle is not lowered any further if you are travelling at higher speeds
the vehicle is set to high level
at speeds above approx. 30 km/h, the vehicle level lowers to 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 drive program Lift or lowered when changing from drive program Lift 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.
If overheating protection has been activated due to several level changes in a short period of time, AIRMATIC will not function or its availability will be limited. The Compressor is cooling message is shown in the multifunction display.
After the cooling phase, AIRMATIC is again available without restrictions.
