Technology for comfort, convenience and safety
92
Active stabilizers at the front and rear axles
form the basis for Dynamic Drive. Suspen-
sion compliance adapts to suit driving
conditions, varying from performance-
oriented during cornering to smooth and
comfort-oriented when the vehicle is
proceeding in a straight line.
The system assumes operational status
each time you start the engine.
Driving with Dynamic Drive
During vehicle operation, the system
continuously runs through closed-loop
control cycles lasting only fractions of a
second.
In case of malfunction
The symbol will light up, accompa-
nied by a status message in the
Check Control panel. Please take
note of the additional information in the
Control Display panel.
You can find more detailed information on
the Check Control starting on page 80.
If the Dynamic Drive system switches
off in response to malfunction, please
remember to adapt your speed accord-
ingly, especially in curves.
The suspension will be noticeably softer
and the vehicle will display a greater
tendency to tilt during cornering and in
crosswinds.
If a status message appears in the Check
Control panel, accompanied by a red
symbol, the hydraulic fluid in the reservoir
may have fallen to below the minimum
level, possibly owing to leakage in the
hydraulic system. Stop the vehicle and
switch off the engine immediately.
Please observe the additional instructions
provided in the Control Display panel.<
EDC Electronic Damping
Control*
The suspension responds to changes in
factors such as road surface, or operating
conditions such as steering and braking, by
adapting to the new conditions within frac-
tions of a second.
Comfort program
The system automatically assumes opera-
tion in its Comfort mode each time you start
the engine; this mode is suitable for use
throughout the vehicle's entire speed range
and regardless of load.
Sport program
Activate in "Settings" menu with the igni-
tion on.
You should select the Sport program for
consistently performance-oriented
response from shock absorbers and
steering.
RDC Tire Pressure Monitor*
The concept
RDC monitors inflation pressures in all four
tires while you drive. The system provides
an alert whenever the inflation pressure
drops significantly below the specified
pressure in one or more tires.
To initialize RDC, start by checking the
inflation pressures in all four tires and
comparing them with those specified in the
chart on page 171, correcting them as
necessary. Then proceed to initialize the
system.
