EDC Electronic Damping

Control

The concept

If the influencing variables such as road surface
quality or operating conditions such as steer-
ing, braking etc. change, the damping automat-
ically adjusts to the new conditions within a
fraction of a second.
You can choose from three programs.

"Comfort" program

Select the "Comfort" program if you want com-
fort-oriented coordination of shock absorbers
and steering.

"Normal" program

The "Normal" program offers a balanced mix-
ture of the comfort and the sport program.

"Sport" program

Select the "Sport" program if you want a con-
sistently sporty coordination of shock absorb-
ers and steering.

Selecting program

logic:

tion pressures in the tires as you drive. The sys-
tem provides an alert whenever the inflation
pressure drops significantly in relation to the
pressure in another tire.
In the event of a pressure loss, the rolling radius
and therefore the rotation speed of the wheels
