Air Suspension types - what is ADS ?

I want to buy a new suspension air compressor for my 2009 GL 320 CDI

It seems there are different compressors depending on whether my vehicle has ADS or not.

Can someone please explain what ADS stands for?

Adaptive Dampening System
Airmatic system tries to adjust air pressure in strut air bag to dampen the bump.

If there is a small tube with airline, attached in middle of your strut, then you have ADS. Look for pictures online.
