Hi Everyone!

I just made a trip with my E270 Estate, and I had a payload of approximately 420 kgs (excluding driver). The back end was just about touching the ground until I distributed the weight throughout the car. Actually I got a warning message that "car too low". Since I have Bi-Xenon headlights, I guess the leveling sensor can tell if the back end is too low.

Has anyone here had a maximum load, approx. 500 Kgs according to the manual in your ML ? Any problems with steering or brakeing ? Do airmatic ML's adjust to the load levels to bring the truck straight ?

Thanks for your input.

Yes, Airmatic keeps the truck level if additional weight is within standards.

About 6 months ago i filled the inside of my ML500 with at least 1500lbs of tile and AIRMATIC did a great job keeping it up, but i have to say the SUV did wobble in the lane.
