Level control* and shock absorption

Level control and shock absorption are regulated automatically in the car.

Shock absorption (Four-C)

On a car equipped with Four-C the shock absorption is adapted according to the drive mode selected and the speed of the car. Shock absorption is normally set for the best possible comfort and is regulated continuously depending on the road surface, the car's acceleration, braking and cornering.
