C220 W204 Option 483 (Advice please)

[Tegs200]

Hi,
My car is an auto and has this option (vehicle dynamic package)with the sport button below the radio and after looking online mercedes say it also has dampers that adjust automatically with this option and if you ordered new shocks and springs they would be different to a standard set up and the button is not just to hold gears for longer but so many threads give different answers

I think you'll find that that SPORT button just turns the traction control on and off.

No I have another button for that.....

The Sport button on our SLK selects a lower gear (at lower speeds) and alters the accelerator pedal (electronic) for better response. I haven't tried but I imagine it will also lead to the gear being held longer too.

Option 483 is the Dynamic Handling Package. I have it on my C350 Sport and it is activated by the Sport button located exactly where you say, and not to be confused with the "Sport" buttons on many other models (such as that described by Giantvanman) that do far less. It gives firmer damping, faster throttle responses and more aggressive gear shifts that optimise acceleration. People who tell you it's something different are talking about totally different cars with different options.

Ok thanks and its just because someone said you could not get this on my model ...
Here is a pic of what it looks like, I only have the Sport button and park tronic button on mine though.

I emailed Mercedes Uk to double check and here is there response for option 483,

Thank you for contacting Mercedes-Benz Customer Service. I am writing in response to your recent email correspondence regarding the dynamic handling package with sports mode.

The dynamic handling package with sports mode has an adjustable suspension system, therefore this automatically controls and adapts the suspension to the respective driving situation.

Should you have any further requirements please do not hesitate to contact us.

A lot easier to find the Sport button than it is on mine!
