What is the air suspension value of the Mercedes-Benz S350?
2 Answers
The air suspension value of the Mercedes-Benz S350 can reach up to approximately 3 centimeters. Below is a related introduction to air suspension: 1. Introduction: A high-quality SUV must possess the comfort of a sedan while also maintaining the off-road capability of an SUV. The air suspension system is the best choice to achieve this goal. 2. Function: Based on road conditions and signals from distance sensors, the vehicle's computer determines changes in body height and then controls the air compressor and exhaust valves to automatically compress or extend the springs. This adjusts the chassis ground clearance to enhance high-speed stability or improve off-road capability in complex road conditions.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz S350 for many years, and the air suspension values mainly refer to the height adjustment range. Generally, the height varies by about 20-30 mm between different modes. For example, during normal driving, the height remains fixed. When switching to Sport mode, the body lowers by 20 mm to enhance handling, while in Comfort mode or on uneven roads, it rises by up to 30 mm to improve cushioning. Additionally, the system includes stiffness settings divided into several levels, though it doesn't display specific numbers. Instead, it automatically adjusts the air pressure between approximately 1 to 1.5 bar to balance comfort and durability. Personally, I don’t pay much attention to these numerical details—the Mercedes adaptive system is very thoughtful and adjusts automatically based on speed and road conditions. For maintenance, I recommend owners check the suspension height alignment every six months. If the wheel arch-to-body distance varies too much, it could indicate an issue and affect the overall driving experience.
