ABSTRACT:
A vehicle suspension apparatus comprises a G sensor for detecting lateral acceleration G acting on the vehicle, and a G sensor map for setting the time for supplying/exhausting fluid to and from a fluid spring chamber mounted in each suspension unit in accordance with the lateral acceleration G detected by the G sensor, said lateral acceleration G being higher than a predetermined value. Whether the vehicle is running on a rough road is judged by a rough-road judging routine. When it is judged by the rough-road judging routine that the vehicle is running on a rough road, the non-sensitive area of the G sensor map is widened such that the lateral acceleration G detected by the G sensor is non-sensitive to the G sensor map while the vehicle is running on the rough road, even if the detected lateral acceleration G is somewhat high, thereby preventing the erroneous roll control function.
