- with CODE (489a) Airmatic (semi-active air suspension)

Component Identification:

Shown on model 211
Various messages and indications for AIRmatic and ADS are displayed on the multifunction display in the instrument cluster as well as in the comfort and sport and level adjustment switches.

Turning on ignition and starting engine
When the ignition is turned on, the LEDs in the comfort and sport and level adjustment switches light up and display the setting selected by the driver before "Ignition OFF".

Display evaluation
If electrical faults occur in the AIRmatic or ADS system, the message "AIRmatic GO TO GARAGE!" appears in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster.

The fault is stored in the AIRmatic with ADS control module and can be read out using the diagnosis tool.

If the vehicle level at the front axle is more than 50 mm ((J) (USA) 60 mm) or more than 60 mm ((USA) 70 mm) at the rear axle below the normal level, a warning appears on the multifunction display in the instrument cluster:

"AIRmatic STOP, CAR TOO LOW ". The warning disappears again when the level of the vehicle has risen to the normal level of 48 mm or 58 mm ((USA) 58 mm or 68 mm).

Limp-home mode
If a fault occurs in the adaptive damping system the ADS is switched off. The damping is set to the hardest level. If a fault occurs in the suspension system or level control system, the system attempts to maintain the set vehicle level. Manual and automatic level control are no longer possible.

Comfort and sport switch (N72s26)
The ADS comfort and sport switch allows the driver to choose between three damping maps. One red indicator lamp (LED) lights up in the switch (N72s25) when the "Sport I" switch position is selected. Both indicator lamps light up when the "Sport 11" position is selected.

Level positioning switch (N72s18)
This switch allows the driver to raise the vehicle 25 mm ((USA) 20mm) with model 211 and 30 mm ((USA) 20 mm) with model 240. The red indicator lamp (LED) in the switch (N72s18) lights up when the raised level switch position is selected. The message " AIRmatic RAISING VEHICLE" also appears in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster.

The message " AIRmatic RAISING VEHICLE " is displayed in the multifunction display in the instrument cluster until the desired vehicle level is reached.

If the vehicle raising process is deleted as a result of a change in the vehicle speed the message "AIRmatic LEVEL SELECTED DELETED" appears for approx. 10 seconds in the instrument cluster.

If the vehicle is raised several times in succession, the air compressor may switch off at times to prevent an overload. It may then take an unusually long time to raise the vehicle level.
