Displaying a message to service the suspension system indicates that there is a fault in the suspension system, and it requires immediate inspection and repair. The function of the suspension system: The so-called suspension system is responsible for supporting the vehicle body and absorbing shocks between the wheels and the vehicle body, providing the best ride comfort. After replacing the brake pads, it is necessary to check whether the brake pedal returns to its normal position. During daily driving, be cautious to prevent floor mats from sliding under the brake pedal to avoid incomplete braking. Classification of the suspension system: The suspension system of a car is divided into two types: non-independent suspension and independent suspension. In a non-independent suspension, the wheels are mounted at both ends of a solid axle. When one wheel moves, the other wheel also moves accordingly, causing the entire vehicle body to vibrate or tilt. In an independent suspension, the axle is divided into two sections, and each wheel is independently installed under the frame with a coil spring. When one wheel moves, the other wheel is unaffected, allowing both wheels to move independently, improving the vehicle's stability and comfort. As people increasingly demand higher ride comfort and handling stability, non-independent suspension systems have gradually been phased out.
