A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic. The system also includes a controller coupled to each adjustable shock absorber adjust the damping characteristic of each adjustable shock absorber, and a user interface coupled to the controller and accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The user interface includes at least one user input to permit manual adjustment of the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber during operation of the vehicle. Vehicle sensors are also be coupled to the controller to adjust the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber based vehicle conditions determined by sensor output signals.

A vehicle (1) having: a chassis portion (2) and a tilting suspension arrangement (10) such that the chassis portion can tilt relative to ground; a tilt control arrangement (50) including at least a tilt controller and a tilt motor (48) to selectively apply a torque between the chassis portion (2) and at least one member (12) of the tilting suspension arrangement (10). The tilt controller has an active, tilt-controlled first mode (200) which adjusts a tilt angle (a) of the chassis towards an unstable equilibrium position using the tilt motor (48). The tilt controller has a primarily passive, free-tilt second mode (220) in which the tilt angle of the chassis is not adjusted for at least fifty percent of time. The tilt controller selectively permits a transition between the first mode and the second mode in dependence on at least one operating parameter of the vehicle.

A suspension system and associated control methods for improving the effectiveness of driver assistance systems is disclosed where the driver assistance systems can generate and send requests to a suspension control unit (SCU) of the suspension system to actuate (e.g., close) one or more comfort valves in the suspension system to increase the roll stiffness and/or pitch stiffness of the suspension system when the driver assistance systems are taking corrective action. As part of a two-way communication between the suspension control unit (SCU) and the driver assistance systems, the suspension control unit (SCU) communicates target stiffnesses and/or calculated effective stiffnesses to the driver assistance systems, which is used to update the vehicle stability models used by the driver assistance systems.
