Adaptive dynamics continuously monitors the current road conditions and driving style, and automatically adjusts the suspension settings accordingly. Adaptive dynamics also detects rough road and off-road conditions, and adjusts the suspension settings for greater ride comfort.
The instrument panel displays a message, and may also illuminate the general or critical warning lamps, if adaptive dynamics develops a system fault. See OVERVIEW.
In the event of a system fault, some reduction in ride comfort may be experienced. If the fault persists, consult a retailer/authorized repairer.
