EQS part codes?
I’m looking at a used EQS now and I’m finding the following options listed at mb.vin. Can someone explain them to me? I currently have a 2018 S450 with every option (MagicSky I will surprisingly miss!).
**489**
AIRMATIC DC / semi-active air suspension
**266**
DISTRONIC PLUS transverse support (DTR+Q)
**215**
Adaptive damping system plus (ADS+)
Is there an option that I will want to be sure I have? This is a 2023 EQS580 4Matic with 20k miles for $56k. It’s in perfect condition and I test drive it yesterday. Thoughts? And THANKS!
PS: Also considering a Tesla X because I can get in and out of it so easily! Have a tall torso.

Here's a link to help explain the first option:

I have no idea what the transverse option does, and neither does Google.
Incorporated into the AIRMATIC® air suspension, ADS continually optimizes ride and handling by automatically selecting one of four damping profiles for each spring-strut every time a wheel changes its direction of up-down travel. Driver-selectable Comfort and Sport modes allow you tailor handling response and ride firmness to your present driving style.
