2005 CL 55 AMG
Sports mode

I have a 2005 cl55 . " sports mode "does anyone know what it is and how it works? When to use and when not to use? The dealer said it lowered the car. Does it have anything to do with the abc system? Thanks for any info.

I don't think it lowers the car (ride height is the button with two red lights next to the Sport button), but it does change the ABC settings. I haven't noticed much difference when going over bumps, but there's definitely a lot less body roll when cornering in Sport mode.

So what benefit does one get with non-sport mode then? I cannot seem to feel any differences with either ABC sport on or off. The car seems to corner really well even with ABC sport off.

In hard cornering there is much less body roll. In normal driving the difference is not very noticeable
