The concept
The last selected program is active each time
the engine is started.
If the influencing variables such as road surface
quality or operating conditions such as steer-
ing, braking etc. change, the damping automat-
ically adjusts to the new conditions within a
fraction of a second.
You can also activate your preferred program
with the
button on the steering wheel, refer
to MDrive on page 48.
You can choose from three programs.
Flat Tire Monitor FTM
"Comfort" program
The concept
Select the "Comfort" program if you want com-
fort-oriented coordination of shock absorbers
and steering.
The Flat Tire Monitor keeps track of the infla-
tion pressures in the tires as you drive. The sys-
tem provides an alert whenever the inflation
pressure drops significantly in relation to the
pressure in another tire.
"Normal" program
The "Normal" program offers a balanced mix-
ture of the comfort and the sport program.
In the event of a pressure loss, the rolling radius
and therefore the rotation speed of the wheels
change. This change is detected and is
reported as a flat tire.
"Sport" program
Select the "Sport" program if you want a con-
sistently sporty coordination of shock absorb-
ers and steering.
Functional requirement
In order to assure the reliable reporting of a flat
tire, the system must be initialized for the cor-
rect tire inflation pressure.
The initialization must be repeated after
each time the tire inflation pressure is cor-
rected and after every tire or wheel change.<
