Nickolas is right so far as I know. Our Lexus LS430 has an adaptive transmission as do nearly all Toyota vehicles. My indie has a Tundra pickup and he says he unhooks the battery about every other wash and that resets the transmission to factory defaults which stiffens the shifting up from his relaxed adaptation. I'm not sure the MB transmissions reset like that, but I've got a vague memory that they do (from another thread). All MB transmissions are adaptive, as are the ones in practically all new"ish" cars. I think if you have more than 5 speeds in the box, it probably adapts.

Gammaess, I don't believe the suspension, steering and braking adapt. I could be wrong about that, but I've never seen a thread about it and I don't remember anything in the manual to that effect. I think the W&S switch (or C&S on my car) toggles the transmission to start in second rather than first gear for slick conditions (although you would think traction control would control wheel spin) or for additional comfort on take-off. The suspension setting is what it is, so I doubt it has an adaptive feature. I've had occasion to drive my car hard for periods and I've never noticed that the suspension stiffened, the steering got quicker, or the brakes adjusted. I don't know of any way to reset to default mode unless it is a battery disconnect. There is probably some way to turn the wheel, waggle the mirrors, close your left eye, and spit into the console that would do it, but I don't know the drill.
