Volvo XC60: Active chassis system–Four C

Volvo XC60 / Volvo XC60 1st Gen Owner's Manual / Comfort and driving pleasure / Active chassis system–Four C

Active chassis (Four C)

Active chassis, Four-C (Continuously Controlled Chassis Concept), regulates the characteristics of the shock absorbers so that the car's driving characteristics can be adjusted.

There are three settings: Comfort, Sport and Advanced.

NOTE
This system is available on Canadian models only.

Comfort

Comfort mode offers a somewhat softer ride and the transmission shifts gears at lower rpm.

This mode is particularly suitable for long-distance highway driving. The indicator light in the button will be on when this mode is selected.

Sport

In this mode, the vehicle's body sway is reduced during cornering and steering response is more immediate. The transmission shifts up at higher rpm for sportier driving. The indicator light in the button will be on to indicate that Sport mode has been selected.

Advanced

In this mode, body sway in curves is minimal and steering response is very direct. Gear shifting is done at high rpm in each gear for dynamic and active driving.
