Dynamic Damping Control
Concept
This system reduces undesirable vehicle mo‐
tion when using a dynamic driving style or trav‐
eling on uneven road surfaces.
Activating HDC
This enhances the driving dynamics and driv‐
ing comfort depending on the road surface
condition and driving style.
Programs
The system offers several different programs.
The programs can be selected via Driving Dy‐
namics Control.

lights up.
Consistently sporty control of the shock ab‐
sorbers for greater driving agility.

Consistently sporty control of the shock ab‐
sorbers for greater driving agility when driving
with limited driving stabilization.
Press button again. The LED goes out.
HDC is automatically deactivated above
approx. 37 mph/60 km/h.

Display in the instrument cluster
The selected speed is displayed
in the speedometer.
Variable sport steering
▷
Green: the system is actively
braking the vehicle.
The variable sport steering increases the
steering angle of the front wheels at large
steering wheel angles, e.g., in tight curves or
when parking. Steering becomes more direct.
▷
Orange: the system is on
standby.
It also varies the force required to turn the
wheels in accordance with the vehicle speed.
Malfunction
A message is displayed in the instrument clus‐
ter. HDC is not available, e.g., due to elevated
brake temperatures.
This results in a sporty steering response. In
addition, it becomes easier to steer during
parking and maneuvering.
