How to tell if a 2001/2002 has ABC



Currently looking at a couple of R129s (2001 & 2002) and trying to avoid any type of hydraulic automatic leveling suspension system but I can't tell if these ones have it. Where would the button be located ?
Or, do hese models just have a conventional spring and shock suspension ?

Hi, xxx
The good news is: You will never find the ABC system in a R129.
For me is bad, since i love ABC, and have to be happy with ADS only.
But better than a crate with just wheels...
Cheers, Frank
PS: How about a look to your manual and afterwards beside the light switch...?

Like he posted above, it isn't ABC. The leveling system I haven't seen on a 500 before but just on 600s on the R129, it may be an option though. Switch is next to headlight switch on the other side of steering wheel
