PASM is a system that actively adjusts the chassis
J
dynamics. Your vehicle may be fitted with one of the
K
following equipment configurations:
– PASM with steel suspension
L
– PASM with switchable air suspension and a
M

The variable chassis system configures a damping
force suitable for each individual wheel.
O
Three different chassis setups can be selected:
P
– Normal: comfortable chassis setting
– Sport: sporty setting
Q
– Sport Plus: distinctly sporty setting, such as for
R
use on racetracks.
