ADS (Adaptive Damping System)
General notes
ADS is continuously electronically controlled.
It adapts the damping characteristics to the
current operating and driving situation.
Damping is controlled separately for each
wheel. This increases driving safety and tire
comfort.
This depends on:
R
your driving style
R
the road surface conditions
R
the ADS setting
R
the vehicle level setting
Your selection remains stored even if you
remove the key from the ignition lock.
