Mercedes-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.
