Fault signals
If one or more electric components in
the system prove to be faulty while
driving, the electronic control unit is
designed to turn on the relative
warning light , accompanied by the
message "Check suspension" on the
display. Moreover, the control unit
regulates the shock absorbers to a
preset calibration.
Should the fault involve one shock
absorber only, it is no longer controlled
by the electronic control unit and
remains in the position it had when the
fault occurred. It is therefore possible
that one of the four shock absorbers
has a fixed calibration, differing from
5
that of the other ones.
