does my 2000 mercedes s500 have rodeo mode and how do I use it

tusabes

Only abc equipped cars do rodeo mode. S500 can be either airmatic air suspension or abc hydraulic suspension

If your car has a button that says abc on the top center of the dash then you have abc. If no abc button then you have airmatic and no rodeo is possible

Note that even if you have abc, a mechanic needs to hook up a diagnostic computer to the car to do the rodeo , its not something the driver can just do in the car by pressing a button, unless you've bought the STAR diagnostic computer which cost several hundred dollars

My car has the abc button on the dash and the warning light in the instrument cluster says AIRMATIC visit workshop so what does that mean

tusabes

You have abc if you have a dash button that says abc

The airmatic warning message is a generic word to alert you to a suspension fault
