AMG adaptive sport suspension system is an air suspension system with variable damping for improved driving characteristics. The all-round level control system ensures the best possible suspension and constant ground clearance, even
with a laden vehicle. When driving at speed, the vehicle is lowered automatically to improve driv‐ ing safety and to reduce fuel consumption. The option of manually adjusting the vehicle level is also available.
The damping is adjusted individually to each wheel and depends on:
R
The driving style, e.g. sporty
R
The road surface condition, e.g. bumps
R
The individual selection of Sport, Sport+, Comfort or Economy (only Mercedes‑AMG E 43 4MATIC)

&
WARNING Risk of accident because vehicle level is too high
If you drive at a higher vehicle level, the driv‐ ing characteristics may be impaired due to the higher vehicle center of gravity.
The vehicle may tip over more quickly on a bend, for example.
#
Always select as low a vehicle level as possible and adapt your driving style accordingly.
&
WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐ cle lowering
When lowering the vehicle, people could become trapped if their limbs are between
Driving and driving safety systems
29
the vehicle body and the tires or underneath the vehicle.
#
Make sure no one is underneath the vehicle or in the immediate vicinity of the wheel arches when you lower the vehicle.
&
WARNING Risk of entrapment from vehi‐ cle lowering
Vehicles with AIR BODY CONTROL or level control system: When you unload lug‐
gage or leave the vehicle, the vehicle first rises slightly and then returns to the set level shortly afterwards.
You or anyone else in the vicinity of the wheel arches or the underbody could thus become trapped.
The vehicle can also be lowered after being locked.
#
When leaving the vehicle, make sure that nobody is in the vicinity of the wheel arches or the underbody.
Requirements

Vehicles with AMG Driver's Package:
&
WARNING Risk of accident caused by non-approved tire types
If you use tire types that have not been adap‐ ted to changes made to the factory speed limit, this can have the following consequen‐ ces:
R
The tires do not exhibit the required qual‐ ity characteristics and are not suitable for high speeds or the relevant driving dynamics.
R
The tires wear unevenly and could, there‐ fore, affect the roadworthiness of the vehicle.
R
ABS, ESP®and cruise control operation are restricted.
This can jeopardize road safety.
#
Only use tire types that have been approved for the maximum road speed set and the vehicle.
Vehicles with AMG ceramic high-perform‐ ance compound braking system:
NOTE Damage to the ceramic brake disk
*
when changing a wheel
Mercedes-AMG vehicles with ceramic brake disks: during removal and reposition‐
ing of the wheel, the wheel rim may strike the ceramic brake disk and damage it.
#
Take particular care.
#
Ask another person for assistance or use a second centering pin.
#
When changing the wheel, avoid exerting any force on the brake discs. This can lead to impaired comfort during braking.

Fuel
Information on fuel grades for vehicles with a gasoline engine
Observe the notes on operating fluids .
NOTE Damage caused by the wrong fuel
*
Even small amounts of the wrong fuel could result in damage to the fuel system, the engine and the emission control system.
#
Only refuel with low-sulfur premium grade fuel.
This fuel may contain up to 10 % ethanol. Your vehicle is suitable for use with E10 fuel.
Do not refuel using:
R
Diesel
R
E15, E85, E100
R
Gasoline containing methanol (M15, M30, M85, M100)
R
Gasoline with additives containing metal
If you accidentally refuel with the wrong fuel:
#
Do not switch the ignition on.
#
Consult a qualified specialist workshop.
Only refuel using unleaded premium grade gaso‐ line with at least 91 AKI/95 RON.
If the available fuel is not sufficiently low in sul‐ fur, this can produce unpleasant odors.
As a temporary measure, if the recommended fuel is not available, you may also use unleaded regular gasoline which has at least the octane number specified in the information table in the fuel filler flap . This may reduce engine output and increase fuel consumption.
Never refuel using gasoline with a lower RON.
NOTE Premature wear caused by unlea‐
*
ded regular gasoline
Unleaded regular gasoline can cause the engine to wear more quickly and impair lon‐ gevity and performance.
If unleaded premium grade gasoline is unavailable and you have to refuel using unleaded regular gasoline:
#
Only fill the fuel tank to half full with unleaded regular gasoline and refill as soon as possible with unleaded pre‐ mium grade gasoline.
#
Do not drive at the maximum speed.
#
Avoid sudden acceleration and engine speeds over 3,000 rpm.
