My car is equipped with adaptive damping. How does this system work, and how does it enhance ride comfort compared to traditional suspension systems?
How does an adaptive damping system enhance ride comfort?
An adaptive damping system, also known as adaptive suspension, adjusts the damping force of the shock absorbers in real time based on driving conditions and road surface. This system uses sensors to monitor factors such as vehicle speed, steering input, and road irregularities. It then adjusts the suspension settings to provide the optimal balance between comfort and handling. For example, on rough roads, the system can soften the damping to absorb bumps, while on smooth roads or during aggressive driving, it can stiffen the damping for better control. Adaptive damping systems enhance ride comfort and handling, providing a more refined driving experience.
