Suspension - Electronic: Description

Electronically Controlled Suspension (ECS) is designed to improve vehicle ride characteristics while automatically compensating for driving conditions. System controls shock absorber damping through electronic valve control of shock absorbers.

Using ECS switch on dash, driver can manually select damping characteristics for regular driving by selecting either TOUR mode (soft damping) or SPORT mode (hard damping). Shock absorber damping is automatically firmed up under braking (anti-dive function), quick acceleration (anti-squat function) or hard cornering (anti-roll function).

ECS control unit is equipped with self-diagnostic function which monitors several circuits and alerts driver when a malfunction is detected.
