Magic Body Control
General notes
MAGIC BODY CONTROL consists of Active
Body Control (ABC), ROAD SURFACE SCAN,
the CURVE cornering function as well as auto-
matic vehicle stabilization in the event of a
crosswind.
Your vehicle automatically adjusts its ride
height to reduce fuel consumption. The sus-
pension mode is adjusted according to your
selection (SPORT, COMFORT or CURVE), the
road surface conditions and the vehicle load.
A multifunction camera detects bumps in the
road surface before the vehicle drives over
them. This reduces chassis movements.
Important safety notes
WARNING
G
When the vehicle is being lowered, people
could become trapped if their limbs are
between the vehicle body and the wheels or
underneath the vehicle. There is a risk of
injury.
