The Air suspension program is part of the
standard equipment range. Due to the vehicle’s
sportier suspension tuning, in comparison with
standard vehicles, the level positions in the ADS
settings as well as the speed thresholds for rais-
ing and lowering the vehicle have been modified.

From the Highway/High-speed level, the
vehicle is lowered to the ADS Sport level approx-
imately 20 seconds after it is locked.

after it is locked.
When the engine is started, the previously se-
lected setting, e.g. ADS COMF, is selected again.
