I think the hard driving by an individual can & will trigger the adaptive dampers in some manners just like any other spirited driving with regards to the Agility Control system on the GLK.
Don't forget that the speed-sensitive power steering also helps improve agility and maneuverability & adds to the overall adaptive characteristics you & I may be feeling.

So...........

If I take the GLK out alone and thrash it around will it remember even after Lisa drives it? Probably not. We'll see tomorrow.

There is no suspension memory. Just adaptation to your driving style.

I sometimes do feel the GLK stiffens whenever I push it to it's heels like going in a corner really fast. I do know because I feel less body roll on the car and I get a slap on the face by the wife at the same time.

That's the concept of the Agility Control; the harder you "push" the SUV - the stiffer is the suspension set/adjusted.

Experience the (GLK) Agility Control: http://www4.mercedes-benz.com/manual...tycontrol.html.

You meant it's on the LEFT side of the shifter??? LOL



Anyway, I rather see the setting "S" or "C" mode stay where it is last set at. Like "S" setting for summer and "C" setting for winter time.

I'll bug the service tech when I bring my car in for service next time, even though knowing not getting me anywhere further.

When Lisa is driving & isn't looking down, I press the "S" button.
