Your Wish It its Command. The ADVANCED AGILITY Package for the Sports Cars in new -Class category: Choose the driving mode to match your mood. One of the principal innovations in the new C-Class, the optionally available ADVANCEDAGILITY package,1 with special sports mode is an electronically controlled damping system which constantly adjusts to the driving situation and the condition of the road. This makes for a smoother ride, increases handling safety and, above all, makes the vehicle more agile. Equipped with optional ADVANCED AGILITY package1, the C-Class is lowered by 15millimetres and has noticeably more dynamic handling thanks to the modified spring and damper set-up. The package also includes speed-sensitive power steering which has a sportier feel and conveys an even greater sense of control. Although the different elements are under fully automatic control, it is possible to intervene manually: by pressing a button, you can tell the system whether your preference is for a sporty driving experience or a distinctly comfort-oriented one. With sports mode selected, the system not only adjusts the firmness of the damping, but also sharpens the accelerator response. Assuming, of course, that you are in the mood for it. Otherwise, you can simply choose the comfort mode and enjoy a particularly smooth and comfortable ride.
