Electronically controlled pneumatic spring-struts integrate variable-rate shock absorbers and coil springs. Front and rear stabilizer bars

Adaptive Damping System

(

ADS II

)

continually optimizes ride and handling by automatically selecting one of four damping profiles for each spring-strut every time a wheel changes its direction of up–down travel

Dual driver-selectable sport modes engage firmer damping profiles either full-time or at lower thresholds of body movement

Automatic 4-wheel level control includes driver-selectable ride height. Automatic speed-sensitive lowering can reduce ride height by 0.4

inch at higher speeds

Not available Not available Standard, AMG-enhanced Standard

ABC, an active suspension system, utilizes a coil spring and an electronically controlled hydraulic cylinder in series, plus a separate gas-pressurized shock absorber at each wheel. Using a total system pressure

of up to 2,900 psi, ABC continually adjusts each wheel’s suspension to counteract vibration, pitch, dive, squat and roll. ABC also provides automatic 4-wheel level control, driver-selectable ride height and

automatic lowering at higher speeds

Driver-selectable sport mode virtually eliminates body roll for even flatter cornering and sharper handling response

ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together

(

to help maintain stability

)

as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup

and maintain steering ability

Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost, potentially reducing the overall stopping distance by

eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist

Electronic Brake Force Distribution helps ensure proper brake proportioning for differing vehicle load and maneuvering conditions, and promotes more even brake-pad wear by allowing for a greater rear-wheel

contribution to straight-line braking compared to braking while cornering
