Electronic Damper Control
In an air suspension system, electronic damper control - continuous, map-controlled adjustment of the damper settings - gives you extra ride comfort, driving pleasure and safety, plus improved handling capabilities when driving over loose surfaces or on off-road terrain. The electronic control unit adjusts the damping to match the car's speed and the condition of the road surface, calculating the required setting based on information from the acceleration sensors at the wheels and on the body. You can also choose the basic setting, a firmer sport setting and a softer comfort setting manually. Ride height and damping adapt automatically to any load and to all on-road and off-road conditions, resulting in outstanding suspension characteristics and driving safety. The system is able to compensate for any body movements, as well as dampen the pitching vibrations produced when towing a trailer.
