Four-C active chassis system (option)
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 absorb-
ers 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.

Four-C
The FOUR-C (Continuously Controlled
Chassis Concept) active chassis system,
consisting of Comfort and Sport modes, is
available as an option.
NOTE: The V70 R has a standard FOUR-C
system consisting of Comfort, Sport, and
Advanced sport modes. The buttons for
controlling these driving modes are located in
center instrument panel, above the ventilation
system panel vents, see the illustration in the
right column. These buttons can be pressed at
any time to change driving modes. An
indicator light in the selected button will come
on to indicate the driving mode that is
currently selected.
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.
