Mercedes-Benz GL-Class: ADS (Adaptive Damping System) - Driving systems - Driving and parking - Mercedes-Benz GL-Class Owner's ManualMercedes-Benz GL-Class: ADS (Adaptive Damping System)

ADS is continuously electronically-controlled.

It adapts the damping characteristics to suit the current operating conditions. The damping is controlled for each wheel individually. This improves driving safety and tire comfort.

This depends on:

• your driving style
• the road surface conditions
• the ADS setting
• the vehicle level setting

Your selection remains stored even if you remove the SmartKey from the ignition lock.
