Driving the vehicle with different size
tires will cause the wheels to rotate at
different speeds, therefore the
acceleration slip control will activate
(yellow ASR function indicator lamp in
instrument cluster comes on). For this
reason, all wheels, including the spare
wheel, must have the same tire size.
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.
In winter operation, the maximum
effectiveness of the acceleration slip
control is only achieved with M + S
radial tires.
If the indicator lamp stays on after the
engine is running or comes on while
driving, then the system has detected a
malfunction.
On vehicles equipped with acceleration
slip control, the brake pad wear
warning lamp indicates brake pad wear
for the front as well as the rear brakes.
Adaptive Damping System
Adjustment
We recommend that you visit an
authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer as
soon as possible to have the system
checked-out.
The switch is located in the center
console.
Caution!
If the vehicle is towed with the front
axle raised (see Towing the vehicle in
Index), the key must not be in steering
lock position 2. Otherwise, the
acceleration slip control will
immediately be engaged and will apply
the rear wheel brakes.
1

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.
