Air body control Vs. Dynamic body control

Hello everyone

I'm trying to found the differences
between the two when it comes to lowering the car..

The manual says the (air body control) lowers the car 15mm depending on speed and you can do it manually too!

But what about the (dynamic body control) suspension?

Does it lower the car automatically when you change the dynamic select switch to sport plus for example?

Or this suspension system doesn't lower the car at all?

I looked every where but i didn't found clear explanation! And ofcourse i can't check it on my car, because it didn't arrived yet.

Thinks in advance.

As far as I know, Air Body Control is the only suspension setup that actually does anything. That includes adjusting ride height and stiffness.

Dynamic Body Control adjusts the stiffness of the dampers. Air Body Control is a full air suspension that can raise and lower as you describe.
