Continuous Damping Control 3 (CDC)
Normal mode
CDC automatically adapts vehicle
damping to the current driving situation
and road conditions.
The system continually monitors wheel and
vehicle movements and immediately
modifies the damping of each shock
absorber. Chassis calibration is optimally
adapted to the driving situation and road
conditions.
Continuous Damping Control is always in
normal mode with the ignition is switched
on. If desired, the system can be switched
to SPORT mode.
In SPORT mode, the damping control is
adapted to a sportier driving style, among
other things. This adaptation results in a
"harder" suspension setting.

times are reduced and gear changes occur
at higher engine speeds (not when cruise
control 3 is active).
