ABSTRACT:
A vehicle is provided with a suspension system comprising front and rear suspension systems the suspension characteristics of which are separately variable. The suspension characteristics of the front and rear suspension systems are controlled so that, when the vehicle speed is lower than a predetermined value, the steering characteristic is more toward the oversteer side during rolling of the vehicle than during straight travel of the vehicle and, when the vehicle speed is not lower than the predetermined value, the steering characteristic is fixed irrespective of whether the vehicle rolls.
