CDC - continuous damping control

Air suspensions of a certain type are electronically controlled so that there is continuous damping control (Continous Damping Control).

It is used to provide optimal grip with the vehicle, but prefers driving comfort.

It uses four solenoid valves to precisely and smoothly adjust the shock absorbers and adapt them to road conditions and driving style. A series of acceleration sensors, in combination with other CAN bus signals, send signals to the CDC control unit to ensure optimal damping. This system calculates in real time the amount of damping required for each wheel. The shock absorber is adjusted in a few thousandths of a second. The result: the vehicle remains stable, and the shock from braking and body movement on bends or bumps is significantly reduced. The CDC device also improves the vehicle's handling and behavior in extreme situations.

On some vehicles, it is also possible to manually set the vehicle's height from the ground to set the attitude that works best for us.
