I had also read several reports from 2013-2014 that stated Luxury Packages do not have S+. I'm in no position to debate with owners who have confirmed Luxury Packages and S+ indicated on their console. I presume they also have the black, fist-sized, electronic damping adjustment mechanism on the top of their suspension towers.

Here is a good description and pics of the suspension (written by someone who knows suspension). Not much detail on the AVS, but interesting nonetheless.

Only bummer is that your selection of either S or S+ goes back to normal each time you start the car, but the economy does NOT reset to normal. I understand this is because the EPA numbers are based on normal setting. It's a shame that you can't get the suspension settings without the transmission shift patterns.

I'm not real sure what your point is. I honestly have not looked to see if there is something visible on the shocks nor do I care to. There is absolutely no doubt that the suspension on our Luxury gets significantly stiffer in the + mode. I don't care if it works with fairy dust, it does adjust.
