Vehicle level
Important safety notes
G WARNING
When the vehicle is being lowered, people
could become trapped if their limbs are
between the vehicle body and the wheels or
underneath the vehicle. There is a risk of
injury.
Make sure no one is underneath the vehicle
or in the immediate vicinity of the wheel
arches when the vehicle is being lowered.
The vehicle lowers when you press the button
for selecting the suspension tuning or the
AMG button. The vehicle also lowers if it is
stationary.
! If Sport or Sport + suspension tuning has
been selected, the vehicle's ground
clearance decreases. Make sure that no
objects become trapped or that the vehicle
does not become damaged, for example,
on the curb.
i The vehicle level may change visibly at the
rear axle if you park the vehicle and the
outside temperature changes. If the
temperature drops, the vehicle level
lowers; with an increase in temperature,
the vehicle level rises.
Changing the rear axle ride height
This function is only available for the CLS 63
AMG 4MATIC.
The vehicle level at the rear axle depends on
the selected suspension tuning and the
vehicle speed.
The vehicle level at the rear axle changes
during the journey depending on the selected
suspension tuning:
R Comfort: +0.4 in (+10 mm)
R Sport + and Sport: -0.6 in (-15 mm)
When switching from Comfort to Sport or
Sport +, the rear axle lowers by approximately
1.0 in (25 mm). When switching from Sport
or Sport + to Comfort, the rear axle raises by
approximately 1.0 in (25 mm). This level
change also takes place when the vehicle is
stationary.
If you drive faster than 105 mph (170 km/h),
the rear axle ride height is set to a medium
level. This increases driving safety and
reduces air resistance. If you then drive at
speeds below 93 mph (150 km/h), the rear
axle ride height is readjusted to the selected
suspension tuning.
