The ABC suspension has been used by Mercedes for almost 20 years. It is one of the main reasons the Mercedes SL-Class is considered one of the best vehicles in terms of comfort.

Features of the Suspension of the Mercedes SL

An active system for changing the position of the car body - it not only improves the comfort for everybody in the car, but also contributes to the driving safety. Regardless of the quality of the road surface and speed, the system does not allow the car body to roll when the vehicle enters a turn. The handling improves, without any loss of comfort.

The air suspension of the Mercedes SL-class works either in automatic mode, or in one of the modes that are pre-installed and selected by the owner of the vehicle, depending on the driving conditions. If the Comfort or Sport mode are not selected, the air suspension automatically lowers the car body when it reaches a speed of 70 km/h. The higher the speed, the lower the car body. This makes the car more streamlined, which benefits the fuel consumption as aerodynamic drag is reduced.

It is easy to guess that the Comfort mode provides maximum ride smoothness, while the Sport and Sport + modes provide better handling at high speed.

The ABC air suspension is a complex unit where the electronic processor fully controls the operation of the hydraulic components. Some of its major elements are:

  • processor;
  • sensor system;
  • air suspension struts;
  • compressor;
  • valve blocks
  • hydraulic accumulators;
  • other important parts.

The processor receives information about the degree of load on all air struts from the sensors and regulates the hydraulic pressure in them. This process is quick: within a second, components exchange data many times.
