2022 Volvo S90 Recharge Plug-in Hybrid Damping
Level control and shock absorption
(Option/accessory)
Level control and shock absorption are regulated automatically in the car.
With rear level control, the car maintains the same height at the rear while driving, regardless of load.
Shock absorption(Four-C)
(Option/accessory)
On a car equipped with Four-C the shock absorption is adapted according to the drive mode selected and the speed of the car. Shock absorption is normally set for optimum comfort and is regulated continuously depending on the road surface, the car’s acceleration, braking and cornering.
During parking
(Option/accessory)
During parking, make sure you allow adequate space above and below the car since the car’s ground clearance may vary e.g. depending on the outside temperature, how the car is loaded or the use of loading mode.
The level may also be adjusted sometime after the car has been parked. This is to compensate for any changes in height that may occur due to temperature changes in the air springs when the car cools down.
During transport
During the transport of the car on a ferry, train or truck, the car must be lashed around the tyres and not around other parts of the chassis. Changes in the level control may occur during transport, which could have a negative effect on the lashing.
