Adaptive Damping System (ADS)
Depending upon road surface
conditions, load, driving style, ADS
will automatically adjust the optimal
ride firmness.
The indicator lamp comes on with the
key in steering lock position 2 and goes
out when the engine is running.
If the indicator lamp stays on after the
engine is running or comes on while
driving, then the system has detected a
malfunction.
We recommend that you visit an
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible to have the system
checked-out.
Note:
If the battery was disconnected, the
indicator lamp will only go out after the
engine is started and the steering wheel
is turned from full left - to- full right
lock and returned to the center position.
