 Air suspension function
• Vehicle level adjustment
The level adjustment enables both manual and speed-sensitive a~_t~rr:'atLc
raising and lowering of the vehicle level.

• Vehicle level control

The vehicle level at the front and rear axle are controlled corresponding to
the respective driving and load condition and keeps it g9J1SJ~nt._

• Adaptive damping
Adaptive damping system adapts the damping forces to the road surface
quality (vertical acceleration sensor) and driving style (horizontal
acceleration calculated from vehicle speed and steering angle) .

2
 advantages
• Greater driving safety and comfort:
-adapting the damping to road surface
quality and driving style
-lower center of gravity
-lower air resistance and therefore lower
fuel consumption
-less lift at the front axle

3
 advantages
• Individual adaptation:
-increase in vehicle level for rough road or
garage entrances
-provision for setting 2 damping
characteristics for comfortable or sporty
driving style

4
 advantages
• Driving information:
-display of increased vehicle level stage
and sporty damping stage via function
lamp
-warning of vehicle level being too low by
the multifunction display

 Active body control system
• The ABC system is a full suspension
system. The system is capable of applying
active forces to each wheel with the aid of
four hydraulic suspension struts.
• The active ABC suspension is different
from other systems in that it uses
dynamically-adjustable hydraulic cylinders
at the wheels and does not use stabilizer
as used in conventional suspensions.

22
 Advantages of ABC
• As a result of the active body damping, it is
possible to use very soft, passive shock
absorbers which improve vibration and tire
comfort considerably.
• Although without stabilizer bars, the ABC system
compensates the typical body roll when
cornering and the pitch motion when
accelerating or braking.
• Vibrations and chocks which are caused by road
bumps can be damped more effectively.
