The active damper system is always
on, constantly adjusting your vehicle’s
dampers to the best settings for
current road conditions along with
vehicle speed and handling inputs.
The system uses electrically
controlled dampers to enhance
handling precision, vehicle
composure, tire to road adhesion and
rough road ride comfort isolation.
The system reacts to inputs from
various electronic sensors to give
exactly the right amount of
suspension damping to provide
optimal ride comfort and handling.
The system provides two selectable
modes.
Sport mode: The system prioritizes
handling response, vehicle body
control and tire-to-road adhesion to
allow for higher performance
handling.
Comfort mode: The system
prioritizes road isolation to allow for
a more comfortable ride.
Either mode can be used in any type
of operating conditions.
To switch between comfort and
sport mode, press and release the
active damper system button located
on the center console to choose the
desired mode.
