The electrical active stabilizers (EARS) had their series introduction in the G12. The stabilizers are available to the customer only as optional equipment in conjunction with further suspension control systems (see Highlights chapter). The system has been adopted in full in the G30 with the exception of the preview function.

The preview function, which was implemented on the G12 using the stereo camera, is not used on the G30. For this reason, the name of the optional equipment has been changed from "Executive Drive Pro" on the G12 to "Adaptive Drive" or " Dynamic Handling Package" on the G30.
