Air Body Control in Mercedes-Benz E Class All-Terrain (Adaptive Air Suspension) :: [1001cars]

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class All-Terrain has DYNAMIC SELECT as a standard feature. This enables five driving programmes to be selected with different engine, transmission, ESP® and steering characteristics. A special model-specific feature is the All Terrain driving programme, which offers settings for off-road driving. Selecting the All-Terrain driving programme with the driving programme switch raises the chassis in conjunction with the standard AIR BODY CONTROL by +20 mm up to a speed of 35 km/h. The All Terrain driving programme has a special indicator in the vehicle display. Information displayed there includes the steering angle, the vehicle level (position of the air suspension), the angle of slope and the angle of inclination, the accelerator/brake position and a compass. Thanks to air suspension three levels from 0 to +35 mm are possible. The Mercedes-Benz E Class All Terrain is 29 millimetres higher than the E Class Estate – 14 mm are ascribed to the tyres with a larger height/width ratio and 15 mm to the normal driving level of the air suspension. The ground clearance is 121 to 156 mm.
