Trade in those broomsticks and pointy hats, the Mercedes-Benz MAGIC BODY CONTROL® offers something even better. We thought we would take a look at just what this system actually is. So without further ado, here is the Mercedes-Benz MAGIC BODY CONTROL®. How does the MAGIC BODY CONTROL® Work? 2018 Mercedes-Benz S-Class exterior front passenger side on grass road mountain lakeThis magical system uses two small cameras behind the windshield of your car in order to can the road that is ahead of the vehicle. This is called the ROAD SURFACE SCAN. This scans up to 15 meters in front of your car as it is driving down the road, and measures the height of the dips and bumps that the road has. Then, the suspension uses the active hydraulics in order to compensate for the bumps in the road. This works up to a speed of 130 km/h, or about 80 miles per hour. This ability to somewhat ‘predict’ the dips in the road through a camera enables the vehicle to have a much smoother ride than that of a normal vehicle. The suspension is individually adjustable. Which means that each can be adjusted for the portion of the road they will be going over. So, if there was a bump on one side of the lane, but not the other, it could be compensated for.

One of tech features that come standard in all E-Class vehicles is the Tire Pressure Monitoring System, which keeps an eye on the individual pressure of each tire to ensure maximum reliability and safety.

As is standard with most Mercedes-Benz vehicles, the 2017 E-Class uses different inflation levels for its two sets of tires to give the driver better handling or a more comfortable ride. If you notice your Tire Pressure Monitoring System is detecting low pressure, it’s important to immediately visit your nearest air station and fill to the proper levels, as low pressure can compromise safety and efficiency.
