This chapter describes all standard, country-spe‐
cific and optional features offered with the series.
It also describes features and functions that are
not necessarily available in your vehicle, e.g., due
to the selected options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related functions and sys‐
tems. When using these functions and systems,
the applicable laws and regulations must be ob‐
served.
Adaptive Drive
Principle
Adaptive Drive is an actively controlled chassis.
The system increases driving comfort and mini‐
mizes the lateral tilt when driving around curves.
General information
For active control, this system uses the available
information, for instance from the navigation sys‐
tem or the Driving style analysis.
Chassis components
The chassis components are optimized for the
vehicle and its application range and thereby en‐
sure the best possible Driving Dynamics.
In particular in the ADAPTIVE driving mode, this
information is used to influence the adaptive
chassis control and the active roll stabilization
control. This further increases both the agility of
the vehicle as well as the lane stability.
Adaptive chassis
The function may be restricted if the navigation
data is invalid, outdated or not available, for ex‐
ample.
Principle
The adaptive suspension is an intelligent control‐
lable suspension.
The chassis reduces body movements with a
sporty driving style or on an uneven road.
Active roll stabilization
General information
The intelligent control of the chassis increases
the driving dynamics and driving comfort de‐
pending on the road condition and driving style.
Principle
Active roll stabilization reduces the roll tendency
of the body that occurs during rapid cornering or
during quick evasive maneuvers.
Tuning
General information
The lateral tilt of the vehicle is balanced out by
permanent adjustment on the front and rear
axles. The vehicle is thus always stabilized.
The system offers different shock absorber set‐
tings ranging from comfortable travel to sporty
driving.
The shock absorbers are adjusted depending on
the road condition and driving style as well as,
