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.

ELECTRONIC AIR SUSPENSION LIMITATIONS

The electronic air suspension system:

  • Does not raise the vehicle if there are insufficient air reserves in the system. Insufficient air reserves may occur due to frequent height adjustments within a short period of time. Run the engine without making further suspension height requests to replenish the air in the system.
  • May not operate if the engine is not running.
  • Operates without the engine running if:

    The auto stop/start system switches off the engine.

    A request to lower the suspension is made within one minute of the vehicle’s ignition being switched off.

    A height change is canceled.

    The rear height adjust feature is operating.

  • Stops operate shortly after a door is opened. If the door is closed within 90 seconds, the operation resumes.
  • Only lowers the vehicle when a door is open if sufficient air reserves are available to return it to its original height.
  • May not lower the vehicle to its lowest position while a door is open.
