The Innovative damping control system Synaptic Damping Control is available on the Lancia Delta as Reactive Suspension System.

 

Through real-time electronic control of the shock absorbers, the Reactive Suspension System reduces oscillations of the vehicle body under all driving conditions, thus ensuring the highest levels of safety, comfort and handling.

 

By means of special sensors, the system can identify the current driving scenario and roadway conditions, then chooses the most suitable control laws accordingly.

 

One of these laws is the “Sky Hook”, which isolates the passenger compartment and makes it ideally stable in case of outside disturbances.

 

Thanks to an electronic control unit featuring high calculating power and to accurate solenoid valves capable of providing an immediate answer, controls are applied in real time, neutralising and solving any problems caused by rough road conditions as they arise.

 

Even in case of sports driving, the system can assist the driver by increasing manageability and manoeuvring accuracy, without being forced to give up high comfort standards.

 

Lancia Delta’s drivers could decide to use Reactive Suspension Systems in two different modes, Comfort or Sport, pressing a switch in the passenger compartment.
