What does ECS displayed on the vehicle mean?
1 Answers
ECS displayed on the vehicle refers to the Electronically Controlled Suspension system, also known as Electronic Control Suspension. The function of ECS is to enable the car to maintain good driving performance when driving on uneven roads, during high-speed turns, sudden acceleration, or braking. In the design of traditional suspension systems, if higher ride comfort is required, it is difficult to meet the stability of handling. To overcome this condition, ECS was developed. ECS can adjust the stiffness of the suspension system, the damping force of the shock absorbers, and the height of the vehicle body according to different road conditions, load mass, driving speed, and other factors, so that the vehicle's ride comfort and handling stability can be better under various driving conditions. ECS is divided into semi-active suspension and active suspension. The active suspension system is costly and relatively less used in vehicles, while most models adopt semi-active suspension.
