What is the Benefit of Mercedes-Benz AIRMATIC® Suspension?

Responsiveness is the main benefit of Mercedes-Benz AIRMATIC^® suspension. You may be asking, “Aren’t all suspension systems meant to be responsive?” Yes—but AIRMATIC^® differs from steel-spring suspensions with its adjustable air springs. For smoother handling, it also works in tandem with Adaptive Damping System (ADS) and responds to DYNAMIC SELECT^® drive modes. Read on to learn more about AIRMATIC^® in new Mercedes-Benz vehicles!

How Does AIRMATIC^® Suspension Work?

Here’s a quick breakdown of how this one-of-a-kind suspension system operates:

• As each air spring moves vertically, AIRMATIC^® adjusts the amount of air for greater comfort and less body roll.
• ADS keeps tabs on the road and your driving habits and, within 50 milliseconds, can firm the shock absorbers for controlled handling.
• Select Sport or Comfort to adjust the feel of the suspension to your liking.

Unique Features of AIRMATIC^®

• AIRMATIC^® is a self-leveling suspension system; adding passengers or cargo doesn’t reduce the comfort of your ride.
• On rough roads around Eastvale or Fontana, AIRMATIC^® can raise the vehicle with the push of button for greater ground clearance.
• At higher speeds, you can push the same button to lower AIRMATIC^® for improved aerodynamics and control.
