System Operation

The double wishbone type rear-suspension is assembled on a fabricated high-grade steel subframe. Large diameter mounting bushes are used to isolate the subframe from the vehicle's body; the front bushes are hydrabushes, the rear are voided rubber.

To achieve optimum suspension refinement a cross-brace is used to increase the torsional stiffness of the subframe. The single brace attached to the shear brackets helps to reduce the transmission of road noise.

An adaptive damping system is available on specified models.
