Selecting the CURVE setting
In the CURVE drive program, the curve tilting
function is activated. The vehicle tilts by up to
2.65 degrees into bends. The tilt function and
the comfort suspension tuning increase driving
comfort in corners. CURVE is available in the
speed range between 9 mph (15 km/h) and
112 mph (180 km/h). Select this mode on
winding roads in particular. Outside this speed
range, the CURVE drive program is the same
as the Comfort drive program.
The curve tilting function monitors the road in
front of your vehicle by means of a camera
attached at the top of the windshield. This
function is automatically active if you select
the CURVE drive program. The system is
operational at speeds of up to 112 mph
(180 km/h).

Setting the vehicle level
General notes
The vehicle level can be set using the
DYNAMIC SELECT controller (Y page 133) or
the on-board computer (Y page 171). The set-
ting always corresponds to the last selected
function.
In order to reduce fuel consumption and
improve the driving dynamics, the vehicle is
lowered as its speed increases. In the Sport
and Sport Plus drive programs it is lowered by
up to 0.5 in (13 mm), and in the Comfort drive
program by up to 0.2 in (5 mm) compared to
the normal vehicle level. As the speed is
reduced, the vehicle is raised up to the set
vehicle height.
Each time you start the engine with the Smart-
Key or the Start/Stop button, the Comfort
drive program is activated. For further informa-
tion about starting the engine, see
(Y page 127).
Select the normal level for normal road surfa-
ces and the raised level for driving with snow
chains or on particularly poor road surfaces.
