active roll stabilization.

The merc A class has this, it even has a button to turn it off.

Now the female owner of the car asked me what this button was.

I knew ARS was on fancy saloons but on a humble A class?

She then said like a dopey woman would "this light comes on when I go into corners to fast", yes that shows the ARS is doing its job.

Anyway does anyone have any nice links to show the set up?

I don't know if its hydraulic or electrical.

"I go in to corners fast"

Sounds like an accident waiting to happen.

its great to take the corners fast though,my friend in istanbul was taking those butterfly shaped bridge connections with about 60-70 miles an hour on his honda vtec while turning the steering wheel slightly left/right ,that makes the car act like a rwd and the ass is everywhere .good fun if you do it on the right road .
