ABSTRACT:
A suspension control system includes a plurality of suspension systems respectively disposed between a vehicular body and each road wheel thereof, the suspension systems having variable damping characteristics. Each suspension system is associated with means for adjusting damping characteristics according to a suspension control command. Each suspension control system also includes a sensor means for monitoring an inertia force exerted on the vehicular body, which inertia force affects for vehicular attitude to cause a vehicular attitude change. A control unit receives the output of the sensor means and derives a suspension control command for regulating vehicular height and vehicular attitude. The control unit is designed to detect a predetermined particular vehicle driving condition on the basis of the sensor output for deriving the suspension control command for adjusting vehicular height to a lower level than a normal height level.
