ABSTRACT:
A hydraulic shock absorbing device of adjustable damping force type for use in a vehicle such as an automobile includes hydraulic dampers with the damping force thereof being adjustable between at least two, low and high damping force conditions, and a selective switching circuit operable by a driver of the vehicle for selectively determining the damping force condition of the dampers. At least one sensor is provided to detect the operating condition of the vehicle, such as the speed of the vehicle, the position of the gas pedal, the pressure in the braking system or the like, to generate a signal at a predetermined operating condition of the vehicle, and the signal is supplied to a control circuit for switching the dampers to the high damping force condition to override the switching circuit.
