E-ACTIVE BODY CONTROL
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 sus‐
pension and constant ground clearance, even
with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed, the
vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driv‐
ing 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
R
Road condition, e.g. bumps
R
Drive program
R
