Audi A4: Suspension
Adaptive dampers
Applies to: vehicles with suspension control
The adaptive dampers are an electronically-controlled
damping system. The firmness of the suspension
will adapt to the driving conditions and
the driving situation. The settings depend on the
selected Audi drive select* mode.
Ground clearance
The vehicle height and clearance can be influenced
by the following factors:
- Change in temperature
- Change in load
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, make sure no one
gets pinched when the vehicle level is changing,
for example when cleaning the underbody
or the wheel housings.
Note
Always make sure there is enough clearance
above and below the vehicle. This is especially
important for entrances with height restrictions,
for example, before driving into underground
garages. You could also scrape the
ground when driving over the edges of curbs
or on steep ramps, which could damage your
vehicle.
