ADAPTIVE VARIABLE SUSPENSION SYSTEM


  1. CONSTRUCTION


    1. The front shock absorber assembly is equipped with an external actuator.

    2. The rear shock absorber assembly is equipped with an internal actuator.

    3. The piston rod is equipped with a rotary valve, a soft damping force valve and a hard damping force valve.

    4. An absorber control actuator changes the damping force in accordance with the signals received from the suspension control ECU.

    5. A 16-step step motor turns the rotary valve in the shock absorber assembly to vary the opening of the oil passage. This enables the damping force to be changed smoothly.
