Active Chassis System-Four C - Volvo S80 Owner's Manual

Active chassis (Four C)–option
Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Con-
trolled Chassis Concept), regulates the char-
acteristics of the shock absorbers so that the
car's driving characteristics can be adjusted.
There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and
Advanced.
Comfort
The Comfort mode chassis setting offers the
greatest amount of shock absorption and the
softest ride. This mode is recommended for
long-distance driving, or when driving in slip-
pery conditions. The indicator light in the but-
ton will be on when this mode is selected.
Sport
In this mode, shock absorption is stiffer to
reduce the vehicle's body sway during cor-
nering and to provide more immediate steer-
ing response. The indicator light in the button
will be on to indicate that Sport mode has
been selected.
Advanced
In this mode, movement of the shock
absorbers is minimal and body sway in
curves or when cornering is sharply reduced.
Operation
Chassis settings
Use the buttons in the center console to
change setting. The setting in use when the
engine is switched off is activated the next
time the engine is started.
