Question Ads?

I searched the fourm and found a whole lot of people refering to ADS - could someone tell me exactly what ADS is?

Thanks,
Tony

SL500 2001 Formula 1 Edition;
Adaptive Damping System (ADS) description

From the MBUSA website:

http://www.mbusa.com/pre-owned/2000/...tegory=chassis

Adaptive Damping System (ADS) Optional by special order ADS automatically selects one of four damping profiles every time a wheel changes its direction of up-down travel. ADS also includes automatic 4-wheel level control, driver-selectable ride height with speed-sensitive automatic lowering and a driver-selectable sport mode.

I believe ADS was not available until at least 2000 in SL500's. 600's, I don't know.

If it is on my baby, it is a secret to me, because I don't have any way to select the right height that I know of.

All 600 models came with ADS. I think it was a 6500 dollar option on 500. My 97 600 has it.
