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 con-
trol system ensures the best possible suspension
and constant ground clearance, even with a laden
vehicle. When driving at speed, the vehicle is low-
ered automatically to improve driving safety and
to reduce energy consumption. The suspension
setting is adjusted depending on the road condi-
tion, vehicle load and the drive program selected.
You also have the option of manually adjusting the
vehicle level.
The ROAD SURFACE SCAN function detects areas
of unevenness in the road before you drive over
F167 0009 02
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
