2006 VOLVO V70
The Four-C system is based on a number of sensors that continuously monitor factors such as the car's
lateral and vertical movements, speed, and movements of the wheels. The sensors receive data up to 500
times per second, which is used to provide extremely fast and precise adjustment of each shock
absorber. The system adjusts the stiffness of the shock absorbers approximately 100 times per second.
Use the button in the center console to switch between the driving modes Comfort and
Sport. This can be done at any time.
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 slippery conditions. The
indicator light in the button will be off when this mode is selected. If Comfort mode was selected when
the engine was switched off, this mode will still be active when the engine is restarted.
Sport
In this mode, shock absorption is stiffer to reduce the car's body sway during cornering and to provide
more immediate steering response. The indicator light in the button will come on to indicate that Sport
mode has been selected.
If this setting was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will still be active when the
engine is restarted.
Advanced sport (V70 R only)
In this mode, movement of the shock absorbers is minimal, response from pressure on the throttle pedal
is more direct, and body sway in curves or when cornering is sharply reduced. If Advanced sport mode
was selected when the engine was switched off, Sport mode will be active when the engine is restarted.
