At last, something free from Mercedes Benz…
The sports suspension settings can be “enabled” without resorting to a STAR machine.
Extract from Mercedes Benz dealer procedural document MB.2887.443.AVE1:
“To enable sports suspension package carry out the following procedure:
1. Close all doors, insert key and turn to no. 2 position – do not start engine.
2. Ensure the radio is off.
3. Open and close glovebox three times.
4. Operate auto-fold door mirrors, one sequence* - fold in, fold out.
*If manual folding mirrors are fitted, have an assistant fold them – in the following order: offside in, nearside in, nearside out, offside out.
5 Lower all windows.
6. Press and hold preset 1 on the radio whilst sounding the horn three times.
7. Adjust interior mirror, thus activating the driver height calculating function which, together with the weight sensor in the seat squab, will optimise suspension settings for the current driver.
8. To retain settings, press and hold down horn whilst returning ignition to 0 and removing key.
Repeat procedure, pressing preset 2 (in item 6.) on the radio for a second driver.
Suspension settings can be optimised for up to four drivers using the above procedure.
Suspension setting preset by different drivers will, in some models, be automatically changed by the interior mirror’s face recognition function, otherwise selection of preset settings will be established by driver’s weight /interior mirror position.”
Who says Mercedes haven’t thought of everything…
